The incident was reported at 10:40 AM WIB by Captain KN.P.489, who received information that the barge had split in two during the loading process.
According to the report, the incident took place around 3:35 AM WIB when TK. Box Lima was being loaded with silica sand. At the time, the initial load on the barge had reached 3,000 MT out of a total capacity of 5,000 MT. However, suddenly, the barge broke in the middle, causing it to split into two parts.
Impact of the Incident:
