Two crew members of a Sierra Leone-flagged vessel — a Filipino and a Chinese — died when the vessel rammed into an anchored Marshall Island-owned ship in the vicinity waters of Corregidor in Bataan Friday night. The Filipino crewman died after he was brought to a hospital. He was part of the 16-man crew of the MV Hong Hai 189, a dredger vessel. They were rescued by the crew of the HengDa 19 that was nearby. The body of the Chinese fatality, on the other hand, was recovered by a rescue team at around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday.
