FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The Australian-flagged cruise ship Coral Adventurer remains detained off the coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG) after running aground on 29 December. Local authorities explained that the ship took a route “not usually taken by local operators,” encountering strong sea currents that forced it onto the reef, carrying 80 passengers and 44 staff. The ship sailed between Normanby Island and Fergusson Island, moving northward along the coast of Morobe Province before grounding near Dregerhafen Point. Luckily, all passengers and crew were safe following the incident.
