Nurul Hizam Zakaria, the head of the agency's Johor district. A second call from the Galapagos came shortly after via the Indonesian National Search and Relief Agency (Basarnas). The coast guard called upon Malaysian Navy assets to reach the scene quickly. The Zephyr Lumos had struck the Galapagos on the starboard side amidships, cutting a deep gash into her hull.
