A cargo ship, the Alken Pasifik, sank in Masalembo waters off Madura island Sunday night after heavy waves struck the vessel on its way from Surabaya, East Java, to Samarinda, East Kalimantan.
Tempointeraktif.com reported Monday the ship was carrying more than 13 crew members, all of whom had been rescued by another ship, the KM Tinto, and brought to Surabaya.
Edy Pangemanan, head of the PT Alken branch office in Samarinda, confirmed the accident had occurred but could not provide any further information as yet.
"I received the information this morning but I don't know the details," he said Monday. (ewd)
