Medan-Jakarta sailings canceled

MEDAN, North Sumatra: The state-owned shipping company PT
Pelni has canceled its Aug. 24 and Aug. 28 Medan-Jakarta sailings
because its KM Sinabung suffered damaged after it collided with
the Panamanian tanker MT World Nord Sunday.

"There is no replacement yet for KM Sinabung," Pelni branch
office chief Anwar Sianipar told The Jakarta Post yesterday.

Sunday's collision in the busy Malacca Straits left four KM
Sinabung passengers dead. The MT World Nord was en route from
Singapore to Spain when the accident occurred.

Those who had bought tickets to travel on KM Sinabung from
Belawan port to Jakarta's Tanjung Priok port would get refunds,
Sianipar said. (21)
