Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck of the MV Kalimantan is a historical underwater obstruction located off the coast of Jakarta, Indonesia, in the Java Sea. The wreck is recorded at the coordinates 6 3.415 S, 106 53.285 E. Historically, the site was identified as an underwater danger marked by an isolated danger light buoy, which featured a flashing white light pattern (FL(2)10S). Following salvage operations and official hydrographic surveys, the site was officially classified as dead and removed from active navigational charts by 2005. The wreck sits in a submerged position near the harbor area, historically monitored by the UK Hydrographic Office and Indonesian maritime authorities. Mariners and researchers identifying this obstruction should note its status as a cleared or non-existent navigational hazard in modern maritime records.
