The ship required a closer look and soon enough, the Myanmar Navy decided to take an inspection at the Sam Ratulangi. By then, the rust had already spread to different sections of the ship. However, the more the officials looked around for clues, the more they felt intrigued about the events that could have led to the current situation. They did not find anyone aboard the ship.

The officials felt skeptical about the whole thing, though they kept watching the ship in case anyone provided them any hints of what happened to it. They were at a loss, so the waiting game was their best bet.
