The incident occurred on Sunday, with dozens of crew and passengers on board, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Search and rescue operations are ongoing in Vanuatu, a Pacific Island nation located approximately 1,750 km (1,090 miles) east of Australia. The Prime Minister\u2019s office stated on Facebook that 15 individuals have been accounted for alive. The ferry sank in adverse weather conditions on Friday between the islands of Ambae and Santo, according to New Zealand public broadcaster RNZ. The search has shifted from open waters to the south-east coast, where currents may have carried survivors, RNZ reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Investigation into causes<\/h2>\n<p>The statement from the Prime Minister\u2019s office indicated that strong winds and marine warnings may not have been heeded, and that potential negligence, including overloading of the vessel, is being investigated. Authorities have announced that a formal investigation will be conducted to determine the causes of the incident.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTo the survivors, we pray for your strength and recovery. To the families of those missing and those we have lost, please know that the nation stands with you in this time of grief,\u201d the statement from the Prime Minister\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Rescue operations and official response<\/h2>\n<p>Matai Seremaiah, a representative of the Luganville area in Vanuatu\u2019s Parliament, stated that rescue efforts began after a crew member of the MV Matui swam ashore and raised the alarm. \u201cHe alerted us that the ship has capsized, we went out for the search,\u201d Seremaiah said in remarks broadcast by RNZ.<\/p>\n<p>The Vanuatu police, the Vanuatu Maritime Safety Authority, and the ferry\u2019s operator, Tui Shipping Agency, have not yet responded to requests for comment. The search and rescue operation continues as authorities work to locate the missing passengers and crew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/24ffxgjp1o9tz.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/25xqmyko4bd1p.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1zszwruo21klp.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/24ffxgjp1o9tz.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/25xqmyko4bd1p.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1zszwruo21klp.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2mi1-7ppvquss.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/226t4xcplwk6z.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/08_m29c1udgp4.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
