FOUR SURVIVE IN W SULAWESI'S CAPSIZED VESSEL
Mamuju, W Sulawesi, Feb 15 (ANTARA)- Four capsized Kabir Jaya XI cargo ship's crew members were found alive by a local fisherman on Sunday, a worker of West Sulawesi's coastal radio station said.
The vessel's crew members were rescued by Ambo Island's fishermen after floating on the Makassar Strait waters for three days, Head of the Mamuju Coastal Radio Station Cahaya Hamal said here Monday.
The ill-fated ship loading oranges sank three days ago amid bad weather on its sailing from Sempo sub-district in West Sulawesi to a seaport in East Kalimantan Province port, he said.
The four survivors were identified as the 33-year-old captain, Sahabuddin; Amin (24), Masriadi (26) and Busman (19) -- all were crew members, Hamal said.
"They are all the residents of Luaor village in Pamboang sub-district, Majene regency, West Sulawesi Province," he said.
An Ambo Island's fisherman, named Mette, found them floating on the Makassar Strait waters on Sunday. They were then evacuated to the island, he said.
"They will be returned to their families in Mamuju on Tuesday," he added.
