Baz veso yo ka lakòz efè katastwofik sou resif koray, pa sèlman kraze ak dislojman koray, men kraze fondasyon an Reef (egzanp, nan Florid ak Bermuda). ref Pandan ke anpil nan gwo echèl domaj nan resif te koze pa avyon de gè, menm jan domaj se posib soti nan bato kwazyè. Pa egzanp, nan Zile Vyèj yo, yon bato kwazyè 200 mare nan pwofondè mèt 4 te domaje kominote koray sou yon zòn nan 5,300 mèt kare. ref

Vessel groundings can result in catastrophic effects on coral reefs, not only smashing and dislodging corals, but shattering the reef framework (e.g., in Florida and Bermuda). ref While much of the large-scale damage to reefs has been caused by freighters, similar damage is feasible from cruise ships. For example, in the Virgin Islands, a 200 foot cruise ship anchored in 4 meters depth had damaged coral communities over an area of 5,300 square meters. ref
