Indonesian ambulance boat now missing for one week after sailing out to Makassar Strait

The boat's three passengers at the time of its disappearance are aged between 55 and 65 and are residents of Tinggalungan.

On Friday, October 17, the SAR operation was temporarily suspended on to permit Kamajaya to refuel and replenish her onboard provisions at Soekarno Hatta Port in South Sulawesi. The vessel also took on replacement crews to substitute for the personnel who had been continuously scouring the strait for four days.

Radio Republik Indonesia said the SAR effort resumed on Saturday, October 18.
