Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsM/V Aranui 5 is a dual passenger/cargo vessel that entered service on 12 December 2015 between Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands.[1] With a homeport of Papeete, French Polynesia, the Aranui 5 replaced the Aranui 3 which entered service in 2003.[2]
No Aranui 4 ever went into service, because the number four is regarded as unlucky in China,[3] from which Wing Wong, founder of Шаблон:Lang (CPTM), the family business that operates the Aranui voyages, emigrated to Tahiti in the 1930s.[2][4]
Aranui 5, like its predecessor, is registered as a passenger ship under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), for international operation.[2]
As well as carrying cargo to and from the six ports in the Marquesas Islands, Aranui 5 operates a passenger service and tourist cruise as part of its monthly 12-day itinerary; the ship also stops at the Rangiroa and Tuamotu atolls before returning to Tahiti.[5]
Additional Aranui 5 trips operate to other islands in French Polynesia and beyond, including Rarotonga and the Cook Islands and once a year to Pitcairn Island.[5]
