Derelict ferry sank in Suva
The 'Spirit of Altruism' has sunk in the Draunibota Bay in Lami. on May 7, 2026. The ferry had been shortlisted for removal under the US$1 million Blue Prosperity Fiji initiative aimed at salvaging derelict vessels from Suva Harbour. The wreck was resting on its starboard side with the keel protruding above the water surface. Strong winds on the night of May 3 pushed the vessel onto a nearby reef, causing a small leak in the hull. However, the owners said they were not informed of the incident until the late afternoon of May 6, when they were told the ship had developed a slight list. On the morning of May 8, workers were sent to inspect the vessel and carry out repairs, but the owners said workers from Fiji Ships were already onboard plugging the leak. Most of the fuel and oil onboard had already been removed. Fuel around the sunken vessel was caused by residual pockets. The ship owner now hopes the Blue Prosperity salvage project will prioritise the urgent and safe removal of the MV Spirit of Altruism.

Investigation into grounding going in
The investigation into the reason why the "Spirit of Altruism" ran aground at Cakaudavui reef with 134 passengers on board continued. The Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji expected the investigation to be concluded in the next three weeks. The appointment has been done for the investigator to carry out an investigation into the incident and it will take some time to find out the issues behind the drifting of the vessel onto Cakaudavui reef near Levuka following an engine problem. Relevant paperwork for the ship was in order.
Passengers evacuated after ferry grounded off Naigani Island
The "Spirit of Altruism" ran aground on a reef in Lomaiviti in the morning of Apr 2, 2018. The ferry had left Natovi at 7.30 a.m. bound for Nabouwalu but developed engine problems. The ship drifted about 200 meters before it got stuck on a reef off Naigani Island at 9 a.m. The passengers on the ship were given life jackets and instructed to prepare to disembark. The "Spirit of Harmony" and "Spirit of Love", both of the Patterson Shipping, approached the "Spirit of Altruism" and took them aboard within two hours. They were transported back to Natovi. The Fiji Martitime Surveillance Rescue Coordination Centre was monitoring the situation and two tugs were en route to troubled ferry. On Apr 4 the ferry was refloated and pulled to the Natovi jetty, where it was safely berthed. An investigation into the incident was ongoing.
