In the photos sent by PCG-7 to The Filipino Times, only the port side of the cargo vessel is visible on the surface of the water.

The vessel has a gross tonnage of 346.47.

With the fear of oil spill from the vessel, PCG-7 personnel under their Coast Guard Naga Station immediately placed oil spill booms.

The management of the cargo vessel had the crew, including crane operator Manuel Incarnacion—who sustained injuries, brought to the South General Hospital for treatment. Others were given medical attention by the responders.
