Indonesian maritime authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing to determine whether safety regulations were breached and to establish the full circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
The bodies of the victims are expected to be repatriated following coordination between Indonesian officials and the Spanish embassy.
