The Goundar Shipping Services are trying to recover the vessel Lomaiviti Princess 11, which was grounded this morning on a reef close to Levuka while it was on its way from Natovi.

fijivillage News received information from a passenger that about 40 passengers are currently onboard the vessel and have been stuck on the reef for more than 2 hours now.
