Send to a FriendScores of passengers are still missing after a ferry sank early Thursday off the northern coast of Papua New Guinea.

Several merchant ships have also been deployed to assist in the search for survivors.
The ferry's operator says it lost contact with the vessel as it was traveling between the island of New Britain and the town of Lae.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard described the disaster as "a major tragedy" and said her country was helping Papua New Guinea respond.
