Two coastal tankers, KARYA BUDI TERANG VI and SJUMBER JAYA 01, were beached by strong current near Batang Harau river mouth, Patang city, Western Sumatra coast, early in the morning Jul 14. Both tankers are said to be loaded with fuel. Crews are safe, no leak reported so far. Both tankers aren’t on AIS, aren’t recorded in ships’ databases, so no data available, except photo of them being aground. It is known, they tankers were deployed in Mentawai islands fuel supply.
