Evacuation of the Mentawai Fast ship in Padang

The joint SAR team together towed the Mentawai Fast 01 ship, which had run aground and experienced engine failure at the mouth of the estuary, so it could dock at the pier in Padang, West Sumatra, on Friday (14/8/2026). At least 250 passengers on the fast boat from Tua Pejat, Mentawai Islands Regency, were rescued after being trapped for three hours during a storm and sea waves that hit the Padang Coast, by towing the ship using another vessel.
