On July 2, the landing-craft ferry Pancar Indah sank in the Bali Strait near Gilimanuk, Bali, Indonesia. The Pancar Indah loaded with 16 cars and trucks and 35 persons on board encountered rough seas with waves reaching 2 meters high.  The ferry suffered water ingress and eventually sank by the bow.  The Pancar Indah partially sank with part of the superstructure remaining above the surface.  No reports of injuries.
