JAKARTA - A ferry with 11 passengers on board went missing on Sunday off the Indonesian resort island of Bali, a report said. Two people on board the "Sinar Baru", that was en route to Lombok from Surabaya, had managed to make it to Pantai Bukti beach, 110 kilometres (69 miles) northeast of Bali's capital Denpasar, AFP reported citing the official Antara news agency.
Bali government official Ketut Parwa said the ferry disappeared at 3:30 am on Sunday.
Parwa said search and rescue teams had been deployed to look for survivors. "We have yet to receive information from the two people who survived the ordeal as they are still in shock," Parwa told Antara.
The latest incident follows two others in the past few days. A ferry with some 600 people sank on Friday night in a storm off Java while a ferry carrying 100 people from Sumatra island to Bangka island capsized late Thursday, killing at least three people.
