A Bahamas flag state investigation into the grounding of a luxury passengership on Panama's Coiba island in December last year has questioned the judgment of the vessel's master.
According to the Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA), the master of the 208-passenger Star Pride (built 1988) entertained six guests at the captain’s table between 19.30 and 22.30 on the evening before the grounding on 22 December.
