Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management said earlier in the day that the accident might have been provoked by a leak in the ferry's hull.
The vessel with 138 passengers on board and loaded with 48 automobiles and motorcycles went down Tuesday afternoon in central Indonesia, near the Sulawesi Island. The rescue operations are currently ongoing at the site of accident. It was earlier reported about 24 victims.
