Indonesian search and rescue teams are searching for a missing speedboat off Sulawesi island carrying 11 European tourists and two local crew members. Multiple outlets report the boat departs from Tanjung Unauna regency on July 24 and is scheduled to travel to Marisa Port in the neighbouring Gorontalo province. It does not arrive as expected, prompting the response.
Authorities deploy dozens of rescue teams to cover a search area of about 300 square nautical miles in and around Tomini Bay, which is described in reports as a marine tourism destination. The operation includes coordinated efforts across the surrounding waters, reflecting the uncertainty about the vessel’s location following its failure to reach the planned port.
While details of the boat’s condition or possible cause of the disappearance are not provided in the available reports, the focus remains on locating the speedboat and determining the status of all passengers and crew. The search continues as rescuers expand coverage across the relevant area off Sulawesi.
