At least five people have died and 41 are still missing after an Indonesian ferry caught fire at sea, on Sunday.

According according to Basarnas, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency some passengers jumped overboard to escape the fire and were rescued by a nearby ship.

Meanwhile, a total of 225 people onboard were rescued, and four other boats were on standby near the ferry, however they could not get close due to the risk posed by flammable material on the ferry, said the regional Surabaya Search and Rescue Agency.

The ferry company had received a call from the ship's captain to report the fire as it sailed from Surabaya in East Java to Makassar in South Sulawesi.
