Indonesian rescuers search for Spanish family after boat sinks near Komodo Island
Rescuers continued searching for a Spanish family of four after their tourist boat sank due to engine failure and rough seas near Komodo National Park, Indonesia.
- On Dec 26, a tourist vessel sank in the Padar Island Strait near Labuan Bajo, leaving a Spanish family of four missing from the 11 people aboard.
- Labuan Bajo port authority attributed the sinking to waves up to three metres, noting marine accidents often occur in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian archipelago of around 17,000 islands.
- Video released by the National Search and Rescue Agency showed emergency workers in blue uniforms helping seven people, including two Spanish tourists, out of an inflatable orange boat and onto shore.
- Search operations continued on Saturday, and Risdiyanto said, `This made it difficult for us to carry out the initial search.`
- Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, a Unesco World Heritage site, gives this incident broader significance for tourism and visitor safety.
