Stranded Luxury Cruise Ship with Covid-Positive Passengers Freed in Greenland

The luxury cruise ship MV Ocean Explorer, which ran aground in Greenland with 206 people on board, has been successfully pulled free by a fisheries research vessel. The ship and its passengers will now travel to a port for damage assessment, while the passengers will be flown home. No injuries, pollution, or breach of the hull were reported. Three passengers on board have tested positive for Covid-19 and are in isolation, while the rest are said to be safe and healthy. The ship is likely to go to Iceland for further inspection before continuing its journey. The Danish Maritime Authority has requested an investigation into the incident.
