STORYLINE:
Rescuers were searching Thursday for 29 people who were missing after a ferry sank and five people died the previous night near Indonesia’s resort island of Bali.

As of Thursday afternoon, 31 people had been rescued from the ferry's 53 passengers and 12 crew members, the National Search and Rescue Agency said in a statement.

"We initially conducted searches within 6 nautical miles from the incident location, and the search area was expanded as more victims were found," Surabaya Search and Rescue head Nanang Sigit said. "If no new victims are found today, the search operation will be further expanded."

The KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya sank almost half an hour after leaving Ketapang port in the East Java town of Banyuwangi late Wednesday for a trip of about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) to Bali’s Gilimanuk port, authorities said.

A helicopter and 15 boats searched for survivors with assistance from fishermen and people onshore.

Weather was a significant factor in the search effort. Strong waves up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) high and darkness hampered emergency responders overnight.

While conditions improved Thursday morning, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency indicated waves reached up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) with strong currents and winds Thursday afternoon.
