Container ship rescued four castaways from liferaft
The 'Shanghai Voyager', enroute from Penang to Hong Kong, rescued four crew members of the tug 'AOM 787', after it sank while towing a barge amid severe weather in the waters of the Anambas Islands District, Riau Islands Province, on July 25, 2026. The severe weather caused the tug to lose stability, prompting the crew to cut the towing line connecting it to the barge to reduce the risk. However, shortly after separating from the barge, the tug was unable to regain stability, capsized, and sank on July 26 at around 1 p.m. LT. The crew barely had time to make it into the life raft and was unable to save their belongings, including their passports, before the vessel sank. Conditions were bad in the area with waves at two meters and strong winds. The crew fired off several flares, hoping to attract the attention of passing ships, to no avail. The visibility was very poor due to the heavy rains. Two ships had passed nearby but did not stop. The Indonesian Rescue Coordination Center issued an alert and asked the 'Shanghai Voyager' to divert approximately 70 nautical miles north from its course in an effort to find the castaways. The weather conditions were too bad for the local rescue teams to attempt to reach the crew. The 2nd officer of the container ship spotted the drifting life raft and informed the captain of his ship. The captain was struggling with the weather, which made it very difficult to get the ship near the drifting raft. After about 45 minutes, however, they were able to reach the four raft, and the crew performed the rescue based on their safety drills. The four rescued received medical checks once aboard the containership. At the request of the Indonesian SAR authorities, they were later transferred to their vessels and taken to a hospital for further medical examinations. The SAR team comprised personnel from the National SAR Agency, the Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency, the Indonesian National Armed Forces, and the National Police. The survivors were identified as Captain Zulkifli and crew members Arbain, Dodi, and Tawakal. They were taken to Tarempa Regional General Hospital in the Anambas Islands for further medical examination, and found to be in good health.
