The ship ran aground on to the Bligh Reef. The third mate was piloting the ship at the time outside of the normal shipping lanes due to the presence of icebergs in the area. At the time of the accident the ship collison avoidance radar was not working and turned off, had it been on it would have detected the upcoming reef.
