An investigation has begun into why a general cargoship partially capsized at an Indonesian terminal.

Footage showed the 3,300-dwt Mentari Crystal (built 1992) tilted severely to starboard after losing several containers at the Teluk Lamong Terminal on 15 November.

"The current position of activities at Tanjung Perak Port is not disturbed by the sinking of the ship," said Arif Toha, head of Tanjung Perak Port Authority, in a statement on Tuesday.
