The vessel, carrying 243 passengers and 30 crew members, capsized in rough weather early on September 13 during its journey from Surabaya in East Java to Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan. This latest victim was discovered by divers inside the ship's hull, with the body subsequently airlifted for identification purposes. The ongoing search and evacuation efforts will continue utilizing both divers and air support. According to authorities as of Saturday, a total of nine fatalities have been confirmed while over 100 survivors remain, leaving 126 individuals yet to be located. The recovery operation has been extended for an additional week due to the remaining unaccounted people and the anticipated time required for salvaging the sunken vessel.",
