The Dominican Ferries Line M/V A. REGINA, a Panamanian-flag 330-foot, 3,658-gross-ton passenger carferry ran aground on the southeast coast of Mona Island, Puerto Rico, at 0020 on February 15, 1985, while en route from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, to San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. After unsuccessful attempts to refloat the REGINA, the 72 crewmembers and 143 passengers were landed by the vessel's lifeboats and liferafts on Mona Island and subsequently flown back to Mayaguez. One crewmember was injured slightly when leaving the vessel. The stranded vessel, valued at $5 million, was considered a total loss. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the grounding of the A. REGINA at Mona Island, Puerto Rico, was the failure of the master to monitor the vessel's progress along the charted course line by plotting navigation fixes so as to detect the vessel's set and drift.
