For example, on the day of the incident, the search area focused on the northern side of the ship from the estimated sinking point.

Flower Throwing Action
Meanwhile, the victims' family of the sinking of KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya carried out a flower-throwing action in the Bali Strait from the Ketapang Port wharf, Banyuwangi, East Java, on Saturday (7/5).
A couple from Banyuwangi, Ahmad and Suryani, scattered flowers while praying for the safety of their son and daughter-in-law, Bintang Nur Hidayat (28) and Ely (21), who were victims of a shipwreck.
"Of course we want them to be found alive, but if they have already died, we want to see their body," said Suryani, the mother of Bintang, as quoted by Antaranews.
Suryani revealed that her daughter-in-law, Ely, is five months pregnant and accompanied her husband to deliver rice to Bali using a Fuso truck on Wednesday (7/2) night.
"I just heard the news (Thursday, 3/7) at 7:00 WIB from my relative, and I checked the vehicle's number, which turned out to be the one taken by my son (Bintang)," he said.
He added that usually the son does not take his wife on long trips, but this time Ely chose to go along.
"My daughter-in-law is five months pregnant and just married in February 2025. Right now, we can only wait and pray that our son and daughter-in-law are found," he said with deep emotion.
Amid the search for victims, the confusion of the passenger manifest data of KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya has made the families of the victims who came to the information post at Ketapang Port feel confused. The Basarnas party stated that they continue to conduct verification and reconfirmation of passenger data.
