London-based ship manager Zodiac Maritime confirms that the bulker which it manages hit was is believed to be an uncharted reef in an area the Indonesians call the Seram Sea while traveling in the Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lanes. The vessel is reported to be about four miles from Openta Island on the western side of the sea lane. Some reports are saying she is anchored while others suggest she was purposely grounded in shallow waters.
