Jum'at sore itu ramai sekali penumpang yang hendak berangkat ke Sabang dengan Kapal Motor Penyeberangan (KMP) Gurita yang bersandar di Dermaga Pelabuhan Malahayati, Aceh Besar. Tidak ada yang aneh ketika sejumlah penumpang bergerak memasuki kapal yang tergolong tua tersebut. Hanya muatan yang penuh sesak dan seakan ini sudah menjadi kelaziman. Jadwal pelayaran pada Jumat sore, 19 Januari 1996 itu bertambah padat karena menyambut masuknya bulan suci Ramadhan yang jatuh pada 22 Januari 1996.
