JAKARTA - The tanker that ran aground at Sancang Beach, Cibalong District, Garut Regency, West Java Province, had not been successfully pulled into the middle of the sea on Friday, March 11.
"Evacuated since morning, but can't move yet", said Head of Cibalong Police, AKP Saef Balya, who monitored the evacuation process, when contacted by cell phone from Garut.
He said that part of the ship that ran aground on Tuesday, March 8 night was probably stuck in the reef, making it difficult to pull it out to sea.
"It looks like it got stuck on a rock", said Saef as quoted by Antara.
According to him, efforts to tow the Edricko 3 Tanker into the sea were temporarily suspended because until the afternoon had not yielded any results.
"The temporary evacuation will be stopped first and will be evaluated by the company", he said.
The Edricko 3 tanker carrying 15 crew on a voyage from North Sumatra to Cilacap, Central Java, ran aground at Sancang Beach on Tuesday, March 8.
The entire crew of the tanker was safe but chose to stay on the ship while waiting for the ship to be pulled into the sea by the company.
