fter a weeklong search, a search and rescue team has called off its mission to locate 11 missing crew members of a fishing vessel that sank in the Badung Strait in Bali on Oct. 6.
Fishing vessel KM Tanjung Permai started sinking in the waters off Uluwatu, Badung regency, at 10 p.m. on Oct. 5. Authorities lost contact with the ship the next day, after the captain had communicated with the company operating it, PT Lianiti Abadi.
In one of the last radio messages, the captain told the company that water had gotten into the boat.
The ship was carrying 12 crew members, but only one survivor has been found.
The survivor, Nurrohman, was picked up by a boat that happened to pass the waters off the coast of Uluwatu. He had been floating for two days when he was rescued. He was brought to Benoa Port on Oct. 8.
Kompas.com reported that Nurrohman had told his rescuers that he and five other crew members had abandoned ship when it began to sink, while the six others remained on the boat.
However, he lost sight of other crew members as soon as he jumped into the water.
