Strong winds and high tide apparently obstructed the salvage operation on Tuesday (September 8) of the Raja 4 ferry, which capsized about two nautical miles off Koh Samui on the night of August 1.

The ferry said after the three 10-wheeler garbage trucks it was carrying reportedly shifted. The accident killed five of the 16 people onboard and left garbage strewn across the beaches of islands nearby.
