Indramayu, 9 Desember 2024 – Sebuah kapal yang berangkat dari Pantai Mutiara menuju Pelabuhan Celukan Bawang, Bali, mengalami insiden di perairan Indramayu akibat cuaca buruk dan kerusakan mesin. Berikut kronologi kejadian:
Kronologi Kejadian
Pada Senin, 9 Desember 2024, kapal tersebut memasuki perairan Indramayu ketika cuaca buruk melanda. Mesin sebelah kanan kapal mengalami kerusakan, yang diduga akibat gearbox tidak berfungsi. Kerusakan ini menyebabkan kapal terdampak arus hingga menyimpang ke perairan Indramayu. Upaya perbaikan di atas kapal tidak membuahkan hasil, dan kedua mesin akhirnya mati, membuat kapal terombang-ambing di koordinat S 06-18.834 E 108 37.608, dekat dengan area Rig.
Selain itu, kapal mengalami blackout karena radio komunikasi mengalami korsleting akibat kesalahan pemasangan kabel yang menyebabkan kebakaran kecil. Situasi darurat ini dilaporkan oleh Kasatker Pantai Mutiara kepada Syahbandar Indramayu.
Proses Evakuasi
Dengan koordinasi antara Syahbandar Indramayu dan Pertamina EP, kapal yang terombang-ambing akhirnya ditemukan oleh kapal penjaga CB SMS Vosper di sekitar area X-Ray. Kapal tersebut segera ditarik menuju area labuh Pertamina Balongan dengan waktu tempuh sekitar dua jam perjalanan.
Langkah Selanjutnya
Setelah evakuasi, kapal diizinkan berlabuh di area Balongan dengan persetujuan dari pihak Pertamina Balongan dan otoritas setempat, yaitu Syahbandar Indramayu.
Insiden ini menjadi pengingat akan pentingnya kesiapan operasional dan perawatan kapal, terutama saat menghadapi kondisi cuaca ekstrem. Upaya penyelamatan yang cepat dari pihak terkait berhasil memastikan keselamatan kapal dan awaknya.

Indramayu, December 9, 2024 – A vessel traveling from Pantai Mutiara to Celukan Bawang Port, Bali, faced a critical situation in Indramayu waters due to bad weather and engine failure. Below is the chronology of the incident:
Incident Chronology
On Monday, December 9, 2024, the vessel entered Indramayu waters during severe weather conditions. The starboard engine failed, allegedly due to a malfunctioning gearbox, causing the vessel to drift into Indramayu waters. Despite repair efforts onboard, the situation worsened as both engines failed, leaving the vessel adrift at coordinates S 06-18.834 E 108 37.608, near a rig site.
Additionally, the vessel experienced a blackout as the radio communication system short-circuited due to incorrect wiring, leading to a small fire. The emergency situation was reported by the Kasatker Pantai Mutiara to the Indramayu Harbourmaster.
Evacuation Process
Through coordination between the Indramayu Harbourmaster and Pertamina EP, the stranded vessel was located by the guard ship CB SMS Vosper near the X-Ray area. The vessel was subsequently towed to the Pertamina Balongan anchorage area, a process that took approximately two hours.
Follow-Up Actions
After the evacuation, the vessel was allowed to anchor in the Balongan area with permission from Pertamina Balongan and local authorities, including the Indramayu Harbourmaster.
This incident highlights the importance of operational readiness and vessel maintenance, particularly during extreme weather conditions. Prompt action by the relevant authorities ensured the safety of the vessel and its crew.
