The 30-second video showing a boat with an Indonesian flag about to capsize has been viewed more than 500 times after it was shared here on Facebook on July 9, 2023.
"It occurred on Monday morning, July 9, 2023. It was a Gilimanuk-Ketapang crossing ferry. Let's hope that all the passengers are safe," reads the post's Indonesian caption.

Gilimanuk-Ketapang refers to a land crossing point connecting the main Indonesian island of Java and the island of Bali (archived link).
The post appeared after bad weather in Bali Strait in early July 2023 disrupted ferry crossing schedules between Java and Bali (archived link).
The same video has been viewed more than 10,000 times after it was shared in July 2023 alongside a similar claim here and here on Facebook and here on TikTok.
The clip previously circulated in 2019, such as here on Facebook and here and here on YouTube, with the claim that it was also taken in the Bali Strait, racking up more than 54,000 views in total.
However, the claim is false.
The video actually shows an accident in 2018 at another island in Indonesia that killed over 30 people.
