CEBU CITY—A cargo vessel carrying 15 container vans which measure 20 feet each ran aground on Wednesday in the waters off Ouano wharf, Mandaue City, Cebu.
Super Shuttle Roro 10 came from its docking area at the Ouano Wharf and was heading to Cagayan de Oro City when it hit a shallow area during the low tide around 2 a.m.
Commander Agapito Bibat, Philippine Coast Guard station commander for Cebu, said the roll-on roll-off vessel was scheduled to be towed back to Ouano Wharf at 1 p.m. where it would be inspected by personnel from Maritime Industry Authority before it would be given clearance to sail.
However, Bibat said that based on report from the crew of Supper Shuttle Roro 10, there was no major damage on the cargo vessel. RAM
