Coast Guard locates sunken fishing boat rammed by tanker

The Philippine Coast Guard has located the fishing boat that sank off Pangasinan last week after being hit by a foreign oil tanker.

“From its initial position of being capsized on its left side, with its two outriggers already detached and its plywood-made bow already missing, the fishing boat was reported to be floating,” he added. Earlier, PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela said that they want to recover the fishing boat and use it as evidence in the cases that may be filed over the collision.

The boat was reportedly moored to a fish aggregating device called a ‘payao’ when the collision happened in the waters off Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal. PCG also sent a letter to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, where Pacific Anna was sailing from Incheon, South Korea.
