On the afternoon of August 5, the passenger ferry Bali Dolphin Cruise 2 capsized in the Bali Sea at the entrance of Sanur, Bali, Indonesia. The Bali Dolphin Cruise 2 was entering the harbour entrance and make a turn to port towards the dock when it was struck by a wave. The passenger ferry lost stability and rolled over. The 73 passengers and 4 crew were able to evacuate the capsized vessel and reach shore. Reports state the many passengers were taken to hospital for treatment. Two passengers perished and 1 crew member was reported as missing. Authorities launched a search and rescue operation looking for the missing crew member.

A point of clarification about Sanur Harbour which should be stated. Sanur Harbour is protected by a breakwater that requires vessels to enter the harbor at its’ northern end.  If the vessel would attempt to enter the harbour too far north from the breakwater, it would require a sharp turn to port which would expose the vessel to waves from the east.
