The boxes were bound for Lembar Port in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) reportedly and could not be salvaged.
"Port administration officials are questioning the Journey's captain, Kapel Hukom, to gather information about the contents of the lost containers," a Tanjung Perak Port official was quoted as saying.
"The collision resulted in the cargo ship taking on water, causing it to sink," he said. No casualties were reported following the accident and the 17 crew were rescued by other ships. The Lambelu suffered no serious damage.
