On the afternoon of September 9, the 167 gt tugboat TB. PSIP 160.5 (MMSI: 525012404) ran aground in the Banda Sea off Bahodopi, Morowali, Indonesia.  The TB. PSIP 160.5 had just completed anchoring the barge BG. PSIP 300.05 off Labota. As the tugboat maneuvered it struck a coral formation along its starboard hull.  The TB. PSIP 160.5 hull was holed in the engine room near the lower part of the starboard engine resulting in water ingress.  The tug’s pumps were unable to contain the flooding and the vessel started to sink by the stern.

The tug requested assistance with the nearby 22 meter long tugboat TB. Enterprise 3 (MMSI: 525003271), owned by the same company as the TB. PSIP 160.5, responding. The TB. Enterprise 3 help evacuate all 10 crew off the vessel before it towed the TB. PSIP 160.5  to shallow water.  There the TB. PSIP 160.5 partially sank just off shore.  No reports of injuries.

Authorities have stated there has been no sign of pollution from the incident so far. No further details reported by Indonesian authorities.
