The luxury cruise ship Coral Adventurer ran aground on a reef off Papua New Guinea on Saturday. About 90 km from Lae, the ship stuck the reef but no injuries were reported among its 80 passengers and 43 crew. The ship was refloated on Tuesday with a tug's help. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority detained the vessel, worried about damage that could make it unsafe. Passengers were flown to Cairns airport on Tuesday, after Coral Expeditions cancelled the voyage on Monday. Passenger Ursula Daus described the event as “chaotic” and said she felt her life was in “danger.” She vowed, “I would never, ever again” travel with Coral Expeditions. However, other passengers including Marilyn Walter had a calmer view. She said the grounding caused “just a little jar, that’s all,” and added, “We had a wonderful time.” This is not the first trouble for Coral Adventurer. In October, an 80-year-old passenger named Suzanne Rees died after being allegedly left behind during an excursion on Lizard Island, Queensland. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating this latest incident. A preliminary report is expected in about two months unless urgent safety issues arise. Coral Expeditions stated the vessel is currently at anchor. Certified divers reported no major hull damage so far and continue assessments of the ship and the nearby environment. A spokesperson said, “Pending the outcome of local investigations, the vessel will then travel to Cairns and Coral Expeditions crew and staff will assist local authorities in further investigations.” The company apologized for the disruption and confirmed all passengers and non-essential crew have been safely sent home or on to their next destinations. They also offered refunds or future travel credits to affected passengers.
