When it was first found, it was unclear exactly what had happened to its crew.
An investigation later revealed that a tugboat named Independence had been towing the Sam Rataulangi to a ship-breaking plant in Bangladesh when the two vessels ran in to bad weather.

It eventually ended up running aground after being carried off by the current.
