Pada tanggal 31 Agustus 2024, LCT Cahaya Maulida mengalami kecelakaan setelah menabrak Karang Koliot di Selat Sunda sekitar pukul 00.27 LT. Kapal yang membawa 8 awak ini dilaporkan mengalami masalah mesin yang mengakibatkan kapal kehilangan kendali dan akhirnya menabrak karang.
VTS Merak menerima laporan dari kapal tersebut dan melakukan berbagai upaya koordinasi dengan pihak-pihak terkait untuk mengirimkan bantuan. Namun, beberapa kendala terjadi, termasuk jarak kapal yang terlalu jauh untuk dijangkau oleh kapal pandu terdekat dan masalah komunikasi yang terhambat akibat kerusakan radio.
Pada pukul 03.38 LT, LCT Cahaya Maulida melaporkan bahwa kapal mereka tersangkut di karang dan masih belum diketahui apakah terdapat kebocoran. Kekhawatiran bertambah dengan kemungkinan listrik padam yang akan memutuskan semua komunikasi.
Upaya evakuasi segera dilakukan, dan pada pukul 08.03 LT, semua awak kapal berhasil dievakuasi ke rambu Karang Koliot. KSOP Bakahuni bersama Basarnas kantor SAR Bakauheni mengambil alih operasi penyelamatan, dan kapal RIB 2 SAR Lampung sedang dalam perjalanan menuju lokasi.
Seluruh awak kapal LCT Cahaya Maulida yang sebelumnya kandas di Karang Koliot, Selat Sunda, telah berhasil dievakuasi dalam keadaan selamat. Proses evakuasi berlangsung lancar, dan seluruh awak kapal kini telah diserahkan kepada pihak KSOP Bakauheni untuk penanganan lebih lanjut.

ENGLISH VERSION
On 31 August 2024, the LCT Cahaya Maulida suffered an accident after striking the Koliot Reef in the Sunda Strait at around 00.27 LT. The vessel, which was carrying a crew of 8, reportedly experienced engine problems which resulted in the vessel losing control and eventually crashing into the reef.
VTS Merak received a report from the ship and made various coordination efforts with related parties to send assistance. However, several obstacles occurred, including the vessel being too far away to be reached by the nearest pilot boat and communication problems hampered by radio malfunction.
At 03.38 LT, LCT Cahaya Maulida reported that their vessel was stuck on the reef and it was still unknown if there was a leak. Concerns were heightened by the possibility of a power outage which would cut off all communications.
Evacuation efforts were immediate, and at 08.03 LT, all crew members were successfully evacuated to the Karang Koliot signpost. KSOP Bakahuni together with Basarnas Bakauheni SAR office took over the rescue operation, and the Lampung SAR RIB 2 vessel was on its way to the location.
The entire crew of the LCT Cahaya Maulida which previously ran aground in Karang Koliot, Sunda Strait, has been successfully evacuated safely. The evacuation process went smoothly, and all crew members have now been handed over to KSOP Bakauheni for further handling.
