Indonesia has deployed more and more search team resources over the past 48 hours to find a bulker that issued a distress signal last week and has since disappeared.
The mystery of what has happened to the Nur Allya and its 25 crew continues to perplex local authorities who have sent planes and boats over a huge area of eastern Indonesia looking for the 2002-built vessel. The search has been hampered by poor weather conditions.
