Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Jetliner

On May 23, 2013, at approximately 01:30 a.m. WITA, the ferry 'Jetliner' encountered severe weather conditions while navigating from Kendari City to Raha City port, located in Southeast Sulawesi. The vessel, which was carrying 39 crew members along with five passengers, ran aground in the waters off Muna. Prior to this incident, the 'Jetliner' had suffered a malfunction in its port side main engine and was relying solely on its starboard side engine for propulsion. As it approached the Muna waters, strong winds and currents severely impacted the ferry's navigation, leading to the grounding. Emergency services, including the KUPP and the Raha Port Area Police, swiftly orchestrated an evacuation of the passengers to ensure their safety. The Harbour Master, in conjunction with relevant authorities, has planned to conduct a refloating operation around 10:00 p.m. WITA when the tide is expected to rise.

In the early hours of June 3, 2016, at approximately 1:30 a.m., the ferry 'Jetliner' set off from Bau Bau, Buton Island, on its journey towards Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi, carrying 60 passengers on board. Unexpectedly, the vessel encountered a critical issue as it ran out of fuel shortly after departure, leading to hours of being adrift on the open waters. Given the ongoing shortage of bunker fuel at the Bau Bau port, the situation necessitated the 'Jetliner' to be towed back to its point of origin, where it was eventually docked safely.
