On August 10, the 73 meter long, 2721 dwt cargo vessel Maju 88 (IMO: 8661082) became disabled off Tanjung Indramayu, Indonesia. The Maju 88 was en route from Panjang to Tuban in ballast when it suffered a slight list to starboard. Unable to correct the list, the master of the Maju 88 ordered the vessel to proceed to a nearby anchorage to inspect the hull.  While at anchor, the crew was able to find water ingress in ballast tank one on the starboard bow.

The crew attempted to control the flooding using two pumps, but these pumps were unable to contain the flooding. A few hours later the list had increased to 25 degrees while conditions worsened as strong waves lashed against the vessel. The master of the Maju 88 requested assistance asking to transfer his crew off the vessel. The tugboats PU.1605 and Maide arrived on scene and help evacuate the crew to shore at Balongan. No reports of injuries.

Reports state the Maju 88 list increased to 45 degrees and that some fuel or lubricating oil has been released.  Authorities state they are monitoring the area for further pollution and impact on the environment. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
