Ferry floating again
The KM 'Satya Kencana III' has successfully been refloated as of Jan 25. Salvors were cleaning all of the rooms inside as the interior has been full of mud. The condition of the vessel will be checked before it can be towed to a shipyard in Surabaya to determine if it is safe to be towed.
Salvage hampered by foul weather
The salvage of the 'Satya Kencana III', which sank at the Panglima Utar Kumai Port, Kotawaringin Barat (Kobar) Regency, Central Kalimantan, on Oct 19, 2022, was yet to be completed as the efforts were hampered by the heavy currents. The vessel has been partially lifted, but it remained a challenge to keep it in an upright position due to the strong waves. Its location also shifted about 15-20 metres due to the strong waves. Salvors were still trying to secure the ship.
Vehicles removed in the process of the salvage
All vehicles from the KM 'Satya Kencana III' have been removed from the wereck at the Panglima Utar Kumai Port, Kotawaringin Barat (Kobar) Regency, Central Kalimantan. Salvage operations were still ongoing as the vessel was slowly being lifted and righted. Plastic barrels have been attached to add buoyancy and stabilize the vessel.
