At least four people have died and dozens are missing after a ferry sank off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, according to recent reports.
The National Search and Rescue Agency confirmed that the vessel was carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew members when it sank on Wednesday while en route from Banyuwangi on the eastern coast of Java Island to Bali.
Authorities have rescued 29 survivors, and the search for the remaining passengers is ongoing. The ferry is believed to have experienced engine trouble shortly before it went down.
Marine accidents are common in Indonesia, where inconsistent enforcement of safety regulations continues to pose a serious concern.
