At least one passenger died while another 178 passengers were rescued after the ship KM Dumai Express 10 sank outside Balai Karimun Harbor, Riau, on Sunday.
AKBP Yassin, head of Riau Water Police, told kompas.com that one child had been found dead. All injured passengers, he added, had been rushed to nearby local health centers.
Some ships are still searching for passengers who had not yet been accounted for, Yassin said.
The ship was carrying more than 200 people when it was struck by a strong wave on its way from Batam to Dumai on Sunday morning. (ewd)
