Indonesian tragedy: probe launched

JAKARTA 04 January – Indonesia has launched an investigation into last week's sinking of the ferry Senopati Nusantara. More than 400 of the almost 700 passengers and crew are still missing. Indonesian government sources told Fairplay that rescue work is continuing. News of the investigation comes as seasonal bad weather sweeps across the area, prompting the country's transport department to ban ro-ro vessels from setting out on routes linking Java Sea ports. The Senopati Nusantara was just one of five ferry and ro-ro vessel incidents reported over the past weekend; yesterday, a vessel carrying cattle from Kalimantan to Java had to offload livestock into the sea after that ship was hit by heavy weather, according to news agency Bernama. The seaworthiness of the Senopati Nusantara and the ship's safety equipment will be the focus of the investigation. The ferry was also carrying motorcycles, according to a spokesman at the rescue co-ordinating base in Semarang on the island of Java. The number of confirmed survivors is now 227, some of whom have been found clinging onto oil platforms; only seven passengers have been confirmed dead.
