The locals claimed the ship had destroyed a submarine power cable that brings power to more than 3,000 people on the island.
A frustrated council member of Krangket Island, Rodney Selarn, says the blackout is a big blow to the people on the island.
“I would like to say that I have two more weeks till my people send their children back to school. I have really struggled with my people and this is a huge blow to me personally and the people of Krangket Island.”
