This\nannouncement follows the discovery and identification of a crew member\u2019s\nbody on Enggano Island, Bengkulu, on 12 September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our regulations, the search was conducted for 7 days.\nWithin those 7 days, we had already extended it by 3 days. During that\nperiod, we found a body on the 12th. After an evaluation, we extended\nthe search for another 3 days until the 14th. After those 3 days, there\nwere no further signs of the victims,\u201d Amrad said during a press\nconference on Wednesday (23\/9).<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Amrad noted that as a follow-up, his agency has issued\ne-broadcasts and navigational warnings (mapel) for passing vessels. \u201cThe\ne-broadcasts we have implemented include these warnings; we have\ninvolved the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), coastal radio stations,\nfishermen, and coastal communities around Lampung. To date, no\ninformation has been reported through these channels, including from\ntransport vessels passing through the vicinity of the incident site,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the large-scale SAR operation for five journalists and\nthree crew members missing near Mount Anak Krakatau in the Sunda Strait\nwas officially halted on Thursday (17\/9).

During the 10-day search\nperiod, no findings were made regarding the passengers of the Arupadhatu\nuntil the operation was closed.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the fifth day of the search, one body was found near\nEnggano Island, Bengkulu.
