“However, the ship was reported missing in Indonesian waters, so SAR operations are under the Indonesian authorities,” he said in response to a supplementary question from Madius Tangau on the government’s efforts to locate the missing ship during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He said based on ship movement monitored by the Marine Department through the Automatic Identification System , MV Dai Cat 06 was recorded to be sailing out of Lumut on December 23 last year and anchored in the waters of Sungai Besar on December 26-28 for main engine and anchor system maintenance.Loke said the last position of the ship detected through AIS monitoring was on January 1, which was in sector 9 of the Traffic Separation Scheme around Pulau Mungging, Johor.
