Arung Samudera

Arung Samudera

The Arung Samudera, which means "Ocean Crossings", is an Indonesian tall ship. The sailing vessel is a class B schooner which measures 129 feet in length. Notable features include arched windows on the aft deckhouse, 3 single piece masts, and a boxy hull.[1]

Originally built to be used as a New Zealand Sail training vessel in 1991, the ship was commissioned to be used as the first training vessel of the Indonesian navy at the Arung Samudera Conference of island nations in 1995.[2]

2007 grounding

On August 23, 2007, the Arung Samudera ran aground off the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia in stormy weather. Efforts are currently underway to salvage her, but she is described as having an intact hull, and being in no immediate danger of breaking up.[3]
