Ferry Sinks Off Bali; Dozens Still Missing

News summary

At least four to five people have been confirmed dead and around 30 remain missing after the KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya ferry, carrying 65 passengers and crew and 22 vehicles, sank in rough seas late Wednesday while traveling from East Java to Bali. Authorities have rescued 31 survivors so far, with high waves and strong currents impeding ongoing search and rescue efforts. The ferry reportedly sent a distress signal citing engine trouble before sinking, and some survivors escaped by climbing onto the roof or improvising flotation devices. Most passengers were Indonesian residents, with no reports of foreign nationals among the victims. President Prabowo Subianto has ordered an immediate emergency response, and a large-scale multi-agency rescue operation is underway. The incident has renewed focus on Indonesia’s persistent maritime safety challenges.
