Truck toppled over in high waves

On July 22, 2023, at around 9.15 p.m. WITA a large truck aboard the KMP 'Gerbang Samudra 5', which sailed from Gilanuk Harbor to Katapang, toppled over on the car deck in the middle of the Bali Strait with currents to the south and winds of approximately 20-30 knots speed. A wave of approximately 1,5 – 2 meters height hit the port side which caused the ship to roll to both sides at an angle of up to 45 degrees. As a result of violent rocking, a truck broke its lashing rope and rolled to the left onto a tronton truck,causing damage. After arriving in Ketapang, loading and unloading operations were carried out, before the tronton trucks were dropped off at the Kartika beach pier so as not to interfere with the loading and unloading process at the Ketapang port. The removal was finished at8 a.m. WITA.
