On Saturday, May 4th, 2024, a fire occurred on the MT. Gebang ship located at PT. Samudera Marine Indonesia 5 (SMI) in the Bojonegara Indonesia Park area, Serang Regency. According to a report from VTS Merak, at around 10:46 AM local time, the VTS Operator in Merak received this initial information via phone call from the Banten SAR Office. After confirmation by the SAR patrol team, it was found that the ship was undergoing a Scrub process at the time, and the crew members were not on board. The incident is suspected to have originated from sparks while cutting plates using welding equipment, resulting in a rapid spread of fire which could not be extinguished using the available fire extinguishers (APAR) at the scene.
Subsequently, the VTS Operator attempted to verify this news with other ships in the Bojonegara waters to ensure the validity of the information, but no information was provided by the surrounding ships.
Fire fighters, assisted by the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL), continued their efforts to extinguish the fire. Preliminary investigations revealed that there were 3 crew members of the MT. Gebang who sustained minor burns and were promptly taken to Krakatau Medika Hospital.
