Since we want to find and evacuate victims as soon as possible, we are taking this action—in accordance with the Shipping Law—at the earliest opportunity,\" he said.According to him, moving the wreckage is not solely within Basarnas's jurisdiction; therefore, the government is involving the ship owner and a team of experts capable of handling the removal process to support the search and victim evacuation operations.\"This collaboration is the result of an evaluation of the SAR operation aimed at utilizing all available resources—including the ship owner—so that the removal of the KM Virgo Transport 8 wreckage can support efforts to locate victims believed to still be inside the vessel,\" Syafii said. As of Wednesday (September 16) at 10:00 PM Central Indonesian Time (WITA), Basarnas confirmed that 114 victims had been found, comprising 108 survivors and six fatalities.
