Indonesia starts ship salvage in Java Sea
The Indonesian authorities announced the start of an operation to reposition a ship that capsized in the Java Sea to facilitate rescue efforts, after it sank completely to the seabed. The vessel, "Fergus Transports 8," was carrying 243 people, including 108 survivors, 6 fatalities, and 129 individuals still missing. The incident occurred due to bad weather, with rescue efforts hampered by strong currents and high waves, as search teams have continued their efforts since the accident early this week. The ship's owner, supported by rescue forces and the navy, will recover the vessel from the seabed and adjust its position to complete rescue and final evacuation operations.
