JAKARTA — Thirty-one people have been rescued and 11 are still missing after a ferry ran out of fuel and sank in bad weather off the coast of Indonesia, an official said Monday (May 30).

Local tugboats and fishermen brought many of the survivors ashore after the KM Ladang Pertiwi sank while sailing through the Makassar strait in South Sulawesi province on Thursday.

The vessel did not have a permit to transport passengers, he added, and both the ship's captain and owner have been taken in for questioning. Marine accidents are common in the Southeast Asian archipelago of around 17,000 islands, where safety standards are often lax.
