The ferry departed shortly before 11 p.m. local time on Wednesday from a port on Java, Indonesia’s main island, carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew members. The journey to Bali typically takes less than an hour, but the crew sent a distress call at 11:20 p.m. and the ferry sank 15 minutes later, officials said.
The bodies of four Indonesians had been recovered as of Thursday morning, according to the search and rescue agency in Surabaya, a large city in East Java. Officials did not immediately say what had caused the ferry to sink.
