Search Underway After Indonesian Passenger Ship Loses Contact The recent loss of contact between a passenger ship and Indonesian rescuers in the Java Sea has sparked a massive search operation.
Authorities are scrambling to locate the Virgo Transport 8, which was carrying over 240 people from East Java to South Kalimantan province when it lost contact.
Weather conditions have been cited as a possible factor, but the apparent lack of preparedness and communication from the ship's crew is a concern.
