MELBOURNE - Carnival Corp's troubled Ruby Princess cruise liner docked at a port on Australia's east coast on Monday to help remove crew who need urgent medical treatment and to refuel the ship to send it away.

The investigation will focus on communications and actions that led to the docking and disembarking of the ship's 2,700 passengers on March 19 at Sydney Harbour to see whether national biosecurity laws or state laws were broken, NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said on Sunday. State health authorities had classed the ship as low risk as it had sailed from Sydney to New Zealand, and the Australian Border Force issued a notice allowing the passengers to travel home freely. They were required to self-isolate for 14 days.

Two crew members were taken off for medical help on Sunday, and more would be taken off if necessary for health reasons, he said.
