The Mitra Kencana X was about to depart with the barge Sumber Kencana, loaded with 3,000 tons of crude palm oil, and head into the middle of the river. Due to the strong river current, the towline tighten causing the tugboat to lose stability and capsized onto its starboard hull. The tug quickly filled with water and sank.  All 10 crew members on board the Mitra Kencana X jumped overboard into the river. A nearby vessel rescue the crew and there were no reports of injuries.

Authorities were alerted of the incident and dispatched a response team to the scene. There was no signs of oil pollution in the area.
