The ferry, which was carrying over 200 passengers, suddenly caught fire in the middle of the ocean, leaving the passengers in a state of panic. The incident occurred in rough seas, making it a daunting task for the rescue team to reach the stranded passengers.
According to eyewitness accounts, the fire started in the engine room and quickly spread to other parts of the ferry, posing a significant threat to the lives of those on board. The rescue team, comprising of local authorities and emergency services, worked tirelessly to save the people on the ferry, braving the rough seas to reach the stranded passengers and bring them to safety.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of ferry travel in Indonesia, particularly in the wake of the recent deadly ferry fire off Java that claimed the lives of five people.
