Musi River
The Musi River is located in southern Sumatra, Indonesia. It is about 750 km long,
and drains most of South Sumatra province. After flowing through Palembang, the provincial
capital, it joins with the several other rivers, including the Banyuasin River, to form a delta
near the city of Sangsang. The river, dredged to a depth of about 6.5 meters, is navigable by
large ships as far as Palembang, which is the site of major port facilities used primarily for
the export of petroleum, rubber, and coal. The river mouth was the site of the Silk Air Flight
185 plane crash which killed all 104 passengers and crew on board in 1997.
