In January 2012 Kilo Moana began taking on water from a baseball sized hole in her hull.[clarification needed] The crew of the vessel along with the United States Coast Guard were able to temporarily plug the hole and pump out the flooded spaces. She returned to her homeport of Honolulu safely and entered emergency drydock to repair the damaged hull.[citation needed]
On 20 November 2019, the ship rescued a French-flagged sail catamaran Thetis. That ship with a crew of four was transiting the Austral Islands in French Polynesia when she began to take on water. The American vessel was able to fabricate parts needed to restore watertight integrity and the Thetis was able to continue her passage.[2]
