BATRAM - A ship loaded with grocery goods from Malaysia with the name of the Cheap Fortune Motor Sailing Ship (KLM) heading for Batam's Batu Ampar port caught fire while anchoring around the port, early this morning.
The Junior Expert Public Relations Officer, Captain Bakamla Yuhanes, stated that in the fire tragedy all crew members (ABK) were safe.
“Cheap Fortune KLM also brought nine crew members. At the time of the incident, seven people were on land and two people were rescued by fishing boats," he said in a written statement received in Batam, Antara, Friday, July 22.
The fire occurred in the early hours of Friday at around 02.30 WIB. At that time, Bakamla received a request for emergency assistance from the burning ship and immediately headed to the location.
“When we arrived at the location, due to the shallow location and not allowing Bakamla's ships to approach. The captain of the ship then ordered to immediately lower the 'Rigid Inflatable Hulled Boat' (RIHB) and activate the fire fighting equipment," he said.
"Currently, we are still looking for the cause of the fire and officers are still conducting security around the location," he said.
