Future wreck site at Anilao

1 posts
  1. Yet another RoRo vessel aground in the Philippines, this one at Maricaban island about 5 km across the straight from Anilao.  It wrecked back in September after 3 typhoons in 3 weeks. These vessels never go through this straight so I guess it was seeing refuge from rougher seas, but what the heck was it doing at sea during a typhoon in the first place?!  I have searched regularly for news, as it has now been there for about 5 months with no signs of a salvage operation, but can't find anything.  This company has form by the way, they put their vessels on the rocks around the islands regularly.  I really hope it doesn't turn into an environmental disaster.
