261 people evacuated from grounded ferry

Thu Oct 22 12:31:25 CEST 2026 Timsen

A total of 251 passengers along with their luggage and 10 crew members were evacuated with the assistance of security teams and relevant agencies, after the 'Express Bahagia 98', enroute from Langkawi, had run aground on a sandbank near the entrance to the Kuala Perlis Passenger Ferry Terminal on Oct 21, 2026, at 10.35 a.m. The ferry had departed Langkawi at 9.30 a.m. and got stuck near Buoy No 1 in Kuala Perlis, when the captain took evasive action to avoid a fishing net stretched across the inbound and outbound shipping channel at Kuala Perlis. When the manoeuvre was carried out, both main engines were stopped. Wind conditions then caused the vessel to drift onto the shallow.The evacuation was carried out in collaboration with the Kuala Perlis Marine Police, the Kuala Perlis Fishermen’s Association and Sea Splash Travel Sdn. Bhd., after two initial attempts to tow the ferry off with the 'Kenangan 6' (IMO: 9256004) and the 'Langkawi Auto Express 1' (MMSI: 533001840) had failed due to the falling water level, and was completed at 4.50 p.m. More efforts to refloat the ferry were scheduled for around 7 p.m. with the rising tide. The operation was planned with the assistance of fishing boats and depended on tidal conditions and the prevailing circumstances to ensure it could be carried out safely.
