Cruise ship hits reef on first trip since leaving passenger on island
A cruise ship has run aground in Papua New Guinea (PNG) on its first trip since the death of an elderly passenger in late October.
The Coral Adventurer is currently under investigation over the death of Suzanne Rees, 80, who died on a remote Australian island after being left behind by the ship.
On Saturday, the vessel suffered a “grounding incident” off the eastern coast of PNG, around 30km (18 miles) from the city of Lae, a spokesperson for the ship said.
