A Solomon Islands banana boat, that had been missing since last Thursday, landed yesterday on Isabel Island.

The Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre said all nine people on board were well.

The 6.5 metre boat left from the Russell Islands in Central Province heading to Honiara, which is in the opposite direction to Isabel.

A spokesman from the centre said the nine were now using a ferry to get to Honiara.
