An Australian naval boat has also arrived on the scene and is prepare to take on survivors. In adding, an Australian Defence Forces airplane at the location has dropped four life craft capable of carrying a total of 60 people, she supposed.
Indonesia supposed it is sending two warships to assist Australian save efforts.
Three stranded fishermen lived on clams, seaweed for ten days
"We never know the precise number of people onboard as they get onboard illegally," supposed Gagah Prakoso, a orator for Indonesia's Search and Rescue Agency.
