Indonesia races to find 129 missing after Java Sea ferry capsizes
Last updated: 20 minutes ago At least 108 people have been rescued and six bodies recovered after the vessel overturned in the waters off Masalembo, about 148 km from Banjarmasin, the capital of South Kalimantan province.
Officials said the ferry was not overloaded and was carrying fewer than its maximum capacity of 500 people, though they noted that actual passenger numbers in Indonesia often differ from manifests.
The 119-metre roll-on/roll-off ferry was built in Japan in 1987 and sold to Indonesia last year.
