CEBU - Two ships collided in the Hilutungan Channel off Cebu on Friday afternoon, the Philippine Coast Guard said.
Initial investigation showed that M/B Superblue was pulling a wrecked motorboat towards Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City when it collided with M/V SF Provider of Seaford Shipping Lines, which came from Davao and was bound for San Fernando, Cebu.
The accident occurred at around 3:40 p.m.


The M/V SF Provider did not incur any damage in the collision.


The M/B Superblue, however, was damaged. Half of the ship sank in the waters.


Its captain and three crew were rescued and then transferred to the motorboat.
Investigation is still ongoing as to what caused the collision.

kadako sa dagat....pastilan

bisan unsa pa kadako sa dagat kung ang mga tag-iya sa barko ga daginot, underman pirme ang ila mga barko, ang result walay mga lookouts nga mag duty. magsalig na lang sa technology. unsaon man nang technology kung usa ra ka tawo ang ga duty sa bridge nila. unya naay duty, gadanghag lang pod. instead mag sige ug scan using binoculars sa dagat, maglingkod na man lang kay gasalig lagi sa technology. either sige text or minaw music with earphones. ang resulta, collision or masangad ang barko...
