A cruise ship named "Fiji Princess" ran aground in the waters near Fiji recently. Its operating company stated on the 6th that all 30 passengers on board had been safely evacuated. According to a statement by the company, the "Fiji Princess" ran aground on a reef near an uninhabited island in Fiji on the 4th. At dawn on the 5th, the 30 passengers on board safely evacuated with their luggage and boarded a ferry to Denarau Island. No one was injured in the incident. The company stated that although the cause of the accident is still under investigation, the sea was very calm when the cruise ship dropped anchor. It seems that a sudden storm caused the ship's anchor to move and get stuck on a nearby reef, leading to the grounding of the cruise ship. The company also mentioned that as of the 6th, all the fuel on board the "Fiji Princess" had been removed, reducing the environmental pollution risk.
