Probe underway into tanker accident
The Philippine Ports Authority said on Oct 24 that a probe was underway in the 'Casandra' that hit the dock in Batangas port, to determine the liabilities of those involved. The vessel was seized by the Bureau of Customs as part of a joint task force with the Bureau of Customs, the maritime police, as well as the Coast Guard. The tanker was tied to the dock as part of the protocol when a storm was coming.
Tanker breached in tropical storm
The 'Cassandra' docked at the ferry berth in Batangas after having been seized by the Bureau of Customers on Oct 16, 2024. The master of the tanker and the 11 crew members have been charged with oil smuggling. When the tropical storm Kristine struck the vessel on Oct 23, it suffered damage to the hull, as wind and waves pressed the ship against the quay. The vessel sustained some water ingress from hull damage below the waterline and developed a list to port side. The ship was apparently flooded partially, and resting on the bottom. An oil sheen has been observed in the water around the tanker. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX1782W3vtQ
