Coast Guard started investigation
The Philippine Coast Guard has commenced its investigation into the collision between the fishing boat 'Ruel J' and the ' Tai Hang 8' in the waters off Paluan, Oriental Mindoro. On Dec 16 the Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog (CGDST) stated the initiation of the investigation by coordinating with authorities to ensure a swift and thorough examination of the accident. Five fishermen were rescued on Dec 5 after the fishing vessel was struck by the 'Tai Hang 8' while it was tethered to a payao, an aggregating device for handline fishing. An expert from Pandiman Philippines Survey Specialist visited the CGSS Sablayan to assist with the official communications and to make arrangements for the visual survey inspection of the 'Ruel J'. The Pandiman Philippines, Inc., a maritime services company selected by the owners, Taihang Shipping Company Ltd., has tasked a qualified surveyor with conducting an investigation to determine the cause, nature, and extent of the alleged collision incident that resulted in the sinking of the fishing boat. In collaboration with PCG Sablayan personnel, Pandiman Philippines evaluated the damage to the starboard side outrigger of the fishing boat. Initial findings have been shared, and steps have been taken to estimate the damages, with a detailed report to be delivered for further measures. The Pandiman Philippines, Inc. has promised a transparent and meticulous investigation, underscoring its dedication to the public and concerned parties. The Tai Hang Shipping Company Ltd., and the Ambassador of China to the Philippines have also confirmed the receipt of the PCG’s official correspondence about the incident.
Bulk carrier involved in hit and run accident
The 'Tai Hang 8' allegedly was in collision with the fishing vessel 'Ruel J' and continued on its voyage without stopping in the South China sea, approximately 33 nautical miles off the western coast of Occidental Mindoro, on Dec 5, 2023, at around 4 p.m. LT. The 'Ruel J', was left adrift, and three other fishing vessels, the 'Joker', 'Precious Heart' and 'Jaschene' rescued the five crew members and towed the damaged fishing vessel back to shore at Sablayan. The Philippine Coasthuard checked the condition of the fishermen, interviewed them and provided them with basic supplies. The 'Tai Hang 8', which was heading to Indonesia, was tracked down by the Coast Guard, which was planning to report the incident to the flag state China, and will ask for investigative assistance from port state control in the vessel's next port of call.
