Pada Senin, 23 Desember 2024, sekitar pukul 20.35 WIB, kapal tongkang DBS 9 mengalami kecelakaan kandas di perairan Kuala Batu, Susoh, dengan koordinat 03°43’429” N / 096°47’895” E. Kecelakaan ini tidak menimbulkan korban jiwa pada awak kapal maupun penumpang, dan tidak ada pencemaran atau kerusakan lingkungan yang terjadi. Namun, muatan kapal berupa 4.100 ton bijih besi dan alat berat loader vehicle dilaporkan mengalami kerusakan.
Kecelakaan berawal pada pukul 16.38 WIB, saat TB DAYA 10 dan tongkang DBS 9 melakukan STS dengan kapal MV Dharma Lautan Ruby. Pada pukul 18.00 WIB, tali layang haluan MV Dharma Lautan Ruby putus, diikuti dengan putusnya tali spring tongkang DBS 9. Pada pukul 19.10 WIB, TB DAYA 10 dan tongkang DBS 9 bergantung di buritan kapal MV Dharma Lautan Ruby untuk berlindung dari gelombang tinggi dan angin kencang.
Pukul 20.00 WIB, tali second towing putus, dan nakhoda berupaya menguasai posisi tongkang. Pada pukul 20.30 WIB, tali towing kembali terhubung, namun pukul 20.35 WIB, tali tersebut kembali putus akibat ombak dan angin kencang, sehingga tongkang hanyut. Meskipun nakhoda TB DAYA 10 berusaha menguasai tongkang DBS 9, kondisi cuaca buruk dan gelombang tinggi membuat upaya tersebut gagal, dan tongkang akhirnya kandas.
Tongkang DBS 9 ditemukan kandas pada pukul 23.00 WIB di perairan Kuala Batu, Susoh, dengan jarak sekitar 0,7 NM dari pelabuhan Susoh. Terkait insiden ini, tim yang terlibat antara lain Petugas UPK Kelas III Susoh, agen pelayaran PT. Gathana Arung Nusantara, pemilik barang PT. Juya Aceh Mining, serta tenaga kerja bongkar muat (TKBM).
Kepala Kantor Unit Penyelenggara Pelabuhan Kelas III Susoh, Hardi Sugianto, SE.MH, segera melakukan koordinasi dan penanganan terhadap insiden ini. Faktor cuaca buruk dan angin kencang dari arah selatan dengan kecepatan 35 knot serta gelombang tinggi antara 2 hingga 2,5 meter diduga menjadi penyebab utama kecelakaan ini.
