Kendari, 24 Januari 2025 – Insiden tabrakan kapal terjadi di Pelabuhan Muara Sampara Morosi pada Jumat, 24 Januari 2025, pukul 18.53 WITA. Kapal Motor (KM) Lumoso Harmony dilaporkan menabrak lambung kanan KM Pancaran Glory saat melakukan manuver untuk sandar di dermaga dengan bantuan tiga kapal tunda (tugboat).
Berdasarkan laporan awal, dampak tabrakan tersebut mengakibatkan goresan sepanjang 2,92 meter di lambung kanan KM Pancaran Glory, tepat di atas garis air. Meskipun begitu, tidak ada korban jiwa dilaporkan dalam insiden ini.
Tim inspeksi telah melakukan pemeriksaan visual terhadap lambung bagian atas KM Pancaran Glory. Namun, untuk memeriksa kemungkinan kerusakan di bawah air, seperti deformasi atau kebocoran, diperlukan survei bawah air yang saat ini menunggu kedatangan tim penyelam. Dugaan sementara, benturan tersebut melibatkan bullwalk dan bulbous bow KM Lumoso Harmony.
"Langkah antisipasi sudah diambil untuk memastikan tidak ada kebocoran atau kerusakan serius yang dapat mengancam keselamatan kapal. Jika ditemukan informasi baru, laporan akan segera diperbarui," ungkap salah satu pejabat terkait.
Kejadian ini menjadi perhatian serius pihak pelabuhan dan operator kapal untuk mencegah insiden serupa di masa depan. Proses investigasi lebih lanjut masih berlangsung untuk menentukan penyebab pasti dan tanggung jawab atas tabrakan tersebut.
