A cargo ship ran aground off Barcelona, Sorsogon due to rough weather condition, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported Sunday, Jan. 22.
An incident report from the PCG said landing craft tank (LCT) Regent 101 departed from Lazi, Siquijor on Jan. 19 enroute to Lidong, Albay when it encountered bad weather on Jan. 20.
“While navigating the vicinity waters off Barcelona, the vessel encountered strong winds and big waves, causing it to be drifted into the shallow waters,” the PCG said.
The vessel was dragged into the vicinity waters of Sitio Boracay in Barangay Luneta, the PCG said.
The Coast Guard Station Sorsogon inspected the hull integrity of the distressed vessel for possible oil spill, and the nearby seabed for marine damage.
The distressed vessel is owned and operated by a certain Southern Regent Shipping Inc.
