A cargo ship became stranded after it ran aground on the southeastern coast of Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean during the recent Tropical Cyclone Batsirai.

The gallery above shows images of the Tresta Star after it was stranded along the Saint-Philippe commune of the island, right at the spot of a lava flow created by a 2007 eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. The cargo ship had 11 crewmembers aboard, and all were rescued.
