Six people have died and 107 have been rescued from a capsized Indonesian passenger ferry in the Java Sea.


Another 130 people are still missing after contact was lost with the Virgo Transport ship, as it encountered bad weather.


The ferry was travelling from Surabaya to the South Kalimantan city of Banjarmasin and was last reported to be about 150km (93 miles) south of Banjarmasin around 2am on Sunday.


Ships and a helicopter have been deployed to the scene, with 280 personnel taking part in a search and rescue operation.


All vessels in the area of the Java Sea have been alerted to report any signs of passengers.
