The "Caledonian Sky" ran aground on a coral reef near Kri Island, off Raja Ampat at the coast of Indonesia on March 4, 2017 at noon. The ship was operating in a remote area off Kri Island when it grounded on an unchartered shoal. All 102 passengers and 79 crew members were safe, and there was no need to evacuate the ship following the incident. The vessel was refloated on the next tide and was anchored safely nearby to allow a full assessment of the hull and machinery to be made. That inspection revealed nothing more than superficial damage and after liaison with the relevant local authorities, the ship sailed to take up a slightly revised version of its 16-night sailing from Papua New Guinea to the Philippines. The vessel set sail from New Britain Island on Feb 25 and was scheduled to arrive in Manila on March 14. Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched amidst concern about damage caused to the coral reef . The operator Noble Caledonia was co-operating fully with the relevant investigating authorities.
