The Ministry of Transportation had its hands full on Wednesday evacuating 163 passengers on one of two ferries that ran aground in West Nusa Tenggara.

No fatalities or injuries were reported in the accidents, which occurred days after two separate ferry accidents occurred in Sumatra, one of which claimed 27 lives.

Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan stated on Wednesday that both the Sindhu Dwitama and Rodita ran aground in shallow, muddy waters near the port of Lembar in Lombok.

“All 163 passengers of the Sindhu Dwitama were evacuated,” Bambang said. No passengers were aboard the Rodita when it ran aground.

Bambang said both vessels had departed from Padangbai in Bali for Lembar, where the Rodita had only just dropped off its passengers before it ran aground.

“Even though the incidents occurred very close to Lembar Port, it did not significantly disrupt port operations,” he said, adding that the ministry would launch an investigation.

Preliminary investigations, Bambang said, showed that human error was to blame.

Bambang said that at least 49 vehicles, including 28 motorcycles, aboard the Sindhu Dwitama had to be abandoned after the rescue operation experienced difficulties in turbulent seas.

Wednesday’s incident comes on the back of two ferry accidents in Sumatra on Sunday.

At least 27 people have been confirmed dead and more than a dozen others remain missing after the Dumai Express 10 sank near Karimun Island in Riau Islands on Sunday, possibly due to overloading. Investigations into the incident are continuing.

In the other accident that day, the Dumai Express 15, with 278 people aboard, ran aground as it traveled from Batam to Moro Island, both in Riau. No injuries were reported.

Bambang said on Wednesday that the survivors from the Dumai Express 10 incident had all returned safely to Batam and Dumai. The bodies of 19 victims of the disaster had also been collected by their families.

The ministry has suspended the operations of PT Lestari Indomal Bahari, owner of the Dumai Express 10 ferry, pending a safety audit of its fleet.
