Kiribati ferry disaster report does little to ease relatives' anger

From , 5:04 am on 11 October 2019

The release of a Commission of Inquiry's report into a ferry sinking in Kiribati last year has done little to ease relatives' anger. 

Ninety-five people were killed when the MV Butiraoi sank soon after leaving Nonouti in January last year. 

Jamie Tahana reports. 

The MV Butiraoi was severely overloaded and structurally compromised when it sank in 2018, killing 95 people.
