印度尼西亚渡轮Mutiara Sentosa 2在爪哇岛海域发生火灾，已确认至少5人死亡[1]。救援人员成功救出229人，但失踪人数仍不明确[1]。根据船舶初始清单，该渡轮船上共有232名乘客和39名船员[1]。由于无法准确获知船上人数，官员目前依靠受害者和幸存者家属的报告来确定失踪人数[1]。
火灾于当地时间上午6点至7点之间发生[1]。幸存者Ahmad Abdul Karim报告称，火灾从船只下层车辆甲板的一辆卡车开始蔓延[1]，"火焰在30分钟内蔓延非常快"[1]。该渡轮从苏拉巴亚前往望加锡，事故发生地点位于爪哇岛Sumenep摄政区海域的Buruan Sapudi岛北偏北约35公里处[1]。
Mutiara Sentosa 2渡轮于1992年在日本建造，2015年售予印度尼西亚[1]。该船长160米，设计容量可容纳689名乘客、49名船员及181辆车[1]。火灾原因仍在调查中[1]。
A fire broke out aboard the Mutiara Sentosa 2 ferry in waters off Java, Indonesia, claiming at least five lives while leaving the total number of missing persons unclear, according to rescuers.[1] The vessel was traveling from Surabaya to Makassar when the blaze erupted between 6 and 7 a.m. local time.[1] Rescue personnel pulled 229 people to safety, though authorities acknowledge uncertainty about how many remain unaccounted for, relying on reports from victims' and survivors' families to establish the missing count.[1]
The ferry's manifest listed 232 passengers and 39 crew members aboard.[1] According to survivor Ahmad Abdul Karim, the fire originated in a truck on the lower vehicle deck and spread with alarming speed, engulfing the surrounding area within 30 minutes.[1] Built in Japan in 1992 and sold to Indonesia in 2015, the 160-meter-long vessel had capacity for 689 passengers, 49 crew members, and 181 vehicles.[1] The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
