Shipping accidents are common in Indonesia, in large part

Shipping accidents are common in Indonesia, in large part
because safety regulations are poorly enforced and boats are
frequently overcrowded.

Last May, at least five people were missing after a cargo ship
capsized in the waters off the eastern island of Sumbawa in West
Nusa Tenggara province.

Last February, at least four people were killed when a cargo
ship sank in the waters off Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara.

Earlier in January, at least 15 people went missing and were
possibly trapped under a ship that capsized in waters off Taliabu
island in North Maluku province.
