The New Zealand Cruise Association has released a statement on the recent eruption on White Island.
The organisation expressed concern about some visitors to White Island at the time of the eruption, who are passengers from the Ovation of the Seas, a vessel visiting Tauranga.
“Our primary concern right now is with the wellbeing of the passengers and all those involved. We would like to extend our heartfelt concern to the passengers and their families,” said NZCA chief executive officer Kevin O’Sullivan.
“Our hope is that everyone will be recovered quickly and unharmed, but at this time we have no further information.”
