The Philippine Ports Authority said on Oct 24 that a probe was underway in the accident of the 'Super Shuttle Roro 2'. It was found out that the captain of the ship was not on board, when the incident happened. The ship was at an anchorage when it broke anchor. When the authorities were looking for the captain, he was not on the vessel, which was a violation of the regulations. They were currently conducting an investigation on this and proper charges will be filed.
Ferry broke lose and drifted in the sea
The Philippine Coast Guard secured the 'Super Shuttle Roro 2' on Oct 23, 2024, as a “dead vessel” that drifted toward the port of Batangas after it got detached from its anchor due to strong winds and rough sea conditions. The Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) in Batangas informed the PCG District Southern Tagalog that the ferry was spotted approaching the port at around 4:30 p.m. The ship, whose main engine was not operational, had only three crewmembers on board when the incident occurred. The vessel was scheduled for drydocking and has been anchored in the waters off Bauan since Nov 5, 2023. The PCG and the owner of the 'Super Shuttle Roro 2' deployed a tug to tow and secure the vessel.
