The navy has attributed the sinking of the 'KD Pendekar' to a navigational error and the vessel’s advanced age. A report released on Oct 28 said a special investigation board set up to determine the cause of the incident found that the ship deviated from its planned course and collided with Stork Reef on Aug 25. The 45-year-old vessel’s weakened structural integrity complicated flood control and accelerated the spread of water to other compartments. A leak was first detected in the ship’s engine room, with water rushing in and spreading uncontrollably throughout the vessel. The vessel is currently undergoing technical inspection. The investigation board found that strong currents and limited visibility of about 1ft contributed to the death of a navy diver during the salvage operation on Aug 28. Arman San Hermansa’s safety line became entangled with the ship, and emergency procedures were ineffective to prevent him from drowning. The investigations indicated that diving SOPs and safety measures were followed prior to the dive. The diving equipment was functional before and after the operation, and the diver was confirmed to be certified.
