THE Philippine Coast Guard rescued more than 200 passengers and crew of two vessels that collided last Monday in Southern Leyte. PCG commandant Wilfredo Tamayo said M/V Maharlika 2 collided with M/V Ocean King 1. Both are passenger vessels. M/V Marhalika 2 was about to dock at the Port of Liloan when it was hit by M/V Ocean King 1. Both vessels came from Llipata, Surigao. M/V Maharlika 2 suffered a dented starboard bow freeboard while MV Ocean King 1 damaged its accommodation ladder. The passengers and crew of both vessels were all rescued. Coast Guard District Central Vizayas Commander Rolando Dizon ordered an investigation of the incident and directed the captains of both ships to submit their respective reports. Maharlika 2 had 150 passengers onboard while Ocean King 1 had 47 adult passengers and five infants. |
