PAMEKASAN - The joint team evacuated the crew of the tanker (ABK) stranded in Pasean Waters, Pamekasan Regency, East Java, today.
"There are six crew members that we evacuated from the stranded tanker," said Acting Head of the Pamekasan Regency Government Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Akhmad Dofir Rosidi in Pamekasan, Antara, Friday, January 31.
The stranded tanker named OB SMS 303 is carrying crude palm oil. The ship sailed from Sangkulirang, Kalimantan, to Gresik Harbor.
However, due to bad weather, the ship was dragged into shallow waters and finally stranded in the waters of Pasean Beach, Pamekasan, yesterday.
"When we heard of the incident, we immediately dispatched a joint team consisting of members of BPBD, TNI, and Polri, to help evacuate the crew," said Dofir.
He explained that currently the six crew members had been rescued and accommodated at the homes of local residents.
Meanwhile, the ship's position on Friday (31/1) was about 70 meters from the shoreline after being evacuated by a joint team assisted by local fishermen.
Based on ANTARA's defect, the marine accident in the tanker case stranded in Pasean waters on Thursday (31/1) is the third incident on Madura Island.
On the same day, on January 30, 2025, an Australian ship was also stranded around Giliyang Waters, Sumenep, due to engine failure.
