BANJARMASIN, (Indonesia): (Bernama-Antara) Five crew members of the KM Virgo Transport 8 survived a ship accident in the Java Sea by clinging to an empty three-kilogramme liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder and drifting for about nine hours before a tugboat rescued them, Antara news agency reported.
Crew member Akmal said he and four colleagues used the cylinder for support because they could not find a lifeboat or inflatable raft after abandoning the vessel.
