Grounding off Gilimanuk

The 'Nusa Dua' with 160 passengers on board ran aground in the Bali Strait off Gilimanuk, Western Bali, on June 26, 2022, at around 04.10 a.m. WITA, while approaching the port en route from Ketapang, East Java.

Truck broke from its ropes in storm

The "Nusa Dua" (IMO: 8314706) was battered by high waves and strong winds, which caused a truck on board to fall to its side while sailing through the Bali Strait enroute from the Ketapang Banyuwangi Port to Gilimanuk Port, Bali on May 12, 2019. The truck loaded with timber was swayed hard resulting in it breaking off from the ropes and falling against the ship's side accordingly.
