Pada hari ini sekitar pukul 17.50 waktu lokal, KMP Citra Mandala Abadi dilaporkan kandas di depan PLTU Tanjung Kasang. Namun, setelah beberapa kali panggilan dari Batam VTS tidak mendapat respons, pemantauan AIS kapal tersebut hilang timbul.
Informasi awal menunjukkan bahwa KMP Citra Mandala Abadi mengalami kendala, namun upaya untuk menghubungi kapal tersebut melalui Batam VTS pada pukul 18.00 waktu lokal masih belum mendapat respons. KN Kalimasada melaporkan bahwa dua kapal patroli, KN 547 dan KN 543, telah bergerak menuju lokasi kejadian untuk memberikan bantuan.
Pada pukul 18.22 waktu lokal, pemantauan dari monitor menunjukkan bahwa KMP Citra Mandala Abadi berhasil lepas dari kandas. Namun, meskipun Batam VTS terus mencoba melakukan panggilan, kapal tersebut tetap tidak merespons.
Kemudian, pada pukul 18.47 waktu lokal, KMP Citra Mandala Abadi akhirnya memberikan klarifikasi melalui kanal 16 bahwa kapal yang sebenarnya kandas bukanlah mereka, melainkan KMP Mulia Nusantara. KMP Citra Mandala Abadi hanya berada di lokasi tersebut untuk memberikan bantuan.
Saat ini, KMP Mulia Nusantara yang mengalami kerusakan sedang dalam proses penarikan oleh Niaga Ferry II. Insiden ini menunjukkan pentingnya koordinasi dan komunikasi yang efektif antara kapal dan pihak VTS untuk memastikan keselamatan dan penanganan cepat terhadap situasi darurat di laut.
