What Crew Members Say About Mv.-Lumoso-Raya

A significant gas leak occurred on July 9, 2018, following a rupture of an underwater gas pipeline managed by PT CNOOC Indonesia, located close to Pulau Panjang Island in the Banten Province, northwest of Jakarta. The incident generated a visible bubble on the water's surface, prompting authorities to impose navigation restrictions around the affected area. As of the morning of July 10, these restrictions remained in place, although it was unclear if the gas leak had been contained. Investigators are focusing on the possibility that the pipeline was damaged by the anchor of a nearby vessel, particularly the coal-bearing bulk carrier "Lumoso Raya," which was anchored closest to the site of the incident. An active investigation is currently underway to ascertain the details surrounding the rupture.
