On the morning of October 15, the 26 meter long tug Mitra Kencana X (MMSI: 525006214) sank on the Musi River at Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. 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. An investigation was being conducted into the cause of the sinking. Initial findings suggest the sinking was due to the lack of pilot onboard the Mitra Kencana X when it departed.

No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
