“The two passengers on this small ship are Smith Warren Ashley, 63, and his partner Mrakas Chrisropher, 61,” said Head of the Search and Rescue Office of the Ambon National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), Mustari in Ambon on Saturday 2nd April 2022.

The yacht used by the Australians was reported to have experienced an engine failure and was stranded in the waters of Teor Island. According to Mustari, the Australians departed from Sorong, West Papua on 29th March at around 8:46am Papua time/WITA and headed for Australia.
