“The hydraulic of the bow vizor was damaged in the port of Merak , when about to leave Pier I bound to Bakauheni. As a result, hundreds of passengers and vehicles were forced to disembark the ferry. The bow visor needed repairs before the ship could sail again. 116 pedestrian passengers were carried on to Bakauheni at 23.30 p.m. on the “Raja Rakata” which sailed from Pier III. The 40 vehicles were transferred onto the “Portlink III” at Pier VI.”
