Search and rescue staff say 58 people remain missing after their wooden boat sank off the coast of eastern Indonesia on the weekend.
"The latest update we have so far is that the boat was carrying 70 passengers when it sank. With 12 people rescued we still have 58 missing," rescue official Rebekka Gultom told AFP.
"The manifest showed that it carried 27 people but it turned out that the boat carried more - 70 people. We got the figure after families of the missing people reported to us," Gultom said.
The Jakarta Globe reports that eight rescue boats have been deployed to help with the search.
No bodies have been recovered today.
