The Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji (MSAF) has announced an investigation into a tragic incident involving the MV Ohana, a passenger vessel, which occurred at Suva Wharf earlier this week. This inquiry stems from reports that a 58-year-old female passenger experienced a fainting episode on board, was promptly transported to a medical facility, and unfortunately later succumbed to her condition.
In light of this incident, MSAF has expressed its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, highlighting the authority’s commitment to maritime safety and regulatory compliance within Fiji’s transport sector. While the investigation is still active, the MSAF refrained from disclosing further details at this time.
The authority’s prompt response underlines its ongoing dedication to ensuring safe maritime travel and the well-being of passengers in Fiji. It is hoped that the findings from the investigation will help enhance safety measures and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
