MANADO - The Indonesian Navy helped evacuate passengers and crew of a ship that ran aground in the waters of the Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi.

According to the Commander of the VIII Navy Main Base, First Admiral TNI Nouldy J. Tangka, KM Glory Mary who sailed from Manado to Lirung, Melonguane, and Beo in the Talaud Islands faced bad weather while in the vicinity of Moronge Waters, Salibabu Island, Talaud Islands.

He said the rain and fog that interfered with the view made the captain of KM Glory Mary unable to control the ship so that the ship then ran aground.

The Melonguane Naval Base, after receiving information about the shipwreck, immediately dispatched a team to evacuate the ship's passengers.

Together with the National Police and residents, the rescue team from the Melonguane Naval Base evacuated 202 passengers and 17 crew members to land.
