Lightbulb Pacific Sun - ship currently anchored after engine troubles

Quote:
A cruise ship has run into trouble just hours after leaving port in Brisbane this afternoon.

P&O's Pacific Sun was forced to drop anchor just off Moreton Island after experiencing engine troubles.

Police say the ship has not asked for water police assistance and is anchored in a safe passage while it assess its problems.

The Pacific Sun left port just after 3:00pm AEST bound for Noumea.

Apparently she started having the lurches on the outbound sector of her recent 42 night cherry blossom cruise. Sun and her now ex sisters are prone to killing shaft bearings.
