Goundar Shipping Limited has confirmed that they have arranged for the Lomaiviti Princes 7 to depart Suva early tomorrow morning to pick up the passengers stranded in Vanuabalavu.

A Goundar vessel which was transporting passengers to Cicia and Vanuabalavu in Lau was stranded in Vanuabalavu following an incident.

The vessel was returning from Lomaloma to Suva when it hit a reef in Lomaloma Bay, causing extensive damage.
