Kijang III Sunk
The 30 meter long tugboat Kijang III sank off Mount Panglong, Bintan, Indonesia. The Kijang III had been resetting the rope towlines to a barge when the crew stopped to eat a meal. While the crew ate, the towline rope broke allowing the barge to crash into the tugboat. Three of the five crew were able to escape into the water. The two crew in the engine room were trapped inside when the tug sank. A search for the missing men was attempted but authorities have stated the men may have been swept away due to the heavy swell at that time.
