"We have evacuated 420 passengers out of all 450 passengers aboard the two ferries which hit reefs this morning," said Roki Asikin, chief of Southeast Sulawesi's provincial rescue office.
"We are now transporting the remaining 30 passengers... There are no victims in this accident thanks to swift action from the rescue team," he told AFP.
One of the two ferries travelled off-course due to human error and the second followed in its wake several minutes later, Asikin said.
The Tagori and Super Jet provide a daily service from the South Sulawesi capital of Kendari to the port of Bau Bau.
