Background

The ship lies on its starboard with its bow facing NE (Note: UK hydrographic survey states that it is lying on the port side). The wreck is known locally as the "Indonesian Cement Wreck". It is about 235 feet in length and was built in 1955 by the Japanese. The exact date of its sinking is unknown. But it was suspected before 1965 (most likely between 1963 and 1965). The Malaysian flag taken from the wreck showed 14 strips, it was the flag used when Singapore was still part of the Federation.
