The owner of the ship Mirna "can pay a USD1 million bailout if he wants the ship to leave Indonesia", spokesman Yuri Thamrin told a news conference.
"That is a normal thing ... because the ship was captured red-handed carrying illegal Merbau logs in the waters of Papua, and moreover it had improper document," the agency cited the spokesman as saying.
The Mirna ship is owned by the "Losinjska plovidba" shipping company from Rijeka which has been involved in a lengthy legal battle with Indonesian officials since August 2004 when the logging vessel was accused of using improper legal documents.
