11 missing as cargo ship capsizes

A cargo ship with 15 people on board sank in the Makassar Strait of central Indonesia, leaving 11 people missing, an official said on Saturday, Qazet.az reports according to Xinhua.

The ship was hit by huge waves while sailing in the waters between Kalimantan island and Sulawesi island on Monday but the accident was found out by a passenger ship which helped the victims on Friday, said Dendy Prasetyo, senior press official at South Kalimantan's search and rescue office.

Four people survived the accident, as they used a lifeboat and were helped by a ferry, said Prasetyo.
