Tampomas II
''KMP Tampomas II'' ("KMP" is an acronym for "Kapal Motor Penumpang" or 'Motored Passenger Vessel") was a sea liner owned by Pelni (Indonesian National Shipping) that burned and sank (at 114°25'60"E, 5°30'0"S) in the Masalembo Islands in the Java Sea (in the administrative area of East Java Province) while sailing from Jakarta to Sulawesi on January 27, 1981. This disaster resulted in the deaths of hundreds of passengers.
== Overview ==
''Tampomas II'', originally named ''MV Great Emerald'', was produced in 1956 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Shimonoseki, Japan. It was a RoRo (Roll On-Roll Off) vessel of the screw-steamer type weighing 6139 GRT (gross registered tonnage) and weighted dead 2.41969 million DWT (dead weight tonnage). Retrofitted in Taiwan in 1971, the ship had a capacity of 1500 passengers, with a maximum speed of 19.5 knots. It had a width of 22 meters and a length of 125.6 meters.
The ship was purchased by PT. PANN (Pengembangan Armada Niaga Nasional or ''National Commercial Fleet Development'') from Comodo Marine Co. SA, Japan for US$8.3 million, and then PT. PELNI repurchased it from PT. PANN on a ten-year lease contract. Many were confused at the high price of this ship, because it was offered to other private liner companies for only US$3.6 million. Various parties, including Japan, stated that the ship was no longer seaworthy because it was already 25 years old at the time of the purchase. Once operated, this ship was directly assigned to serve the routes Jakarta–Padang and Jakarta–Ujung Pandang, which were the busiest routes at that time. Every time the ship made port, it was only given a four-hour break before sailing again. Repairs and routine maintenance on the ship's machinery and equipment was done in a perfunctory fashion considering its age.
However, despite the substandard maintenance, the maiden voyage of ''Tampomas II'' was set for June 2 through June 13, 1980. A number of journalists and members of the House of Representatives were invited to join the voyage. On this cruise, several members of the House had witnessed and also questioned about the engine that often broke down during the trip. A Member of Parliament from the PDIP party, Ahmad Soebagyo, mentioned various irregularities during the cruise, including the ship was circling in the same radius due to the malfunctioning of its engine automatic regulator buttons and the cancellation of a show event on the ship due to a prolonged electrical failure. According to a reporter, the engine broke down six times during the trip.
