Super Shuttle Roro 5 (IMO 7822500)


Technical Data








The "Super Shuttle RoRo 5" was beached by the typhoon Nock-Ten (Nina) on Dec 26, 2016 at the Mabini coast in the Batangas province, south of Manila. At 11 a.m. the ferry drifted in the waters off Mabini San Miguel, before running agrund. The Coast Guard deployed the "Pampanga" and "MCS 3001" to verify the situation and assist in rescue operations. All 25 passengers and crew members were saved.



The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) contained an oil spill from the "Super Shuttle Roro 5" that ran aground in Mabini town in the Batangas province at the height of typhoon “Nina” in December 2016. 100 liters of bunker fuel mixed with water spilled in the area where the ferry had been stranded in Barangay (village) Malimatoc.

The vessel was later sold to a new owner, who recently started the ship’s stripping. The  Coastguard received a report of an oil spill in the late evening of March 12 oif 2018. Immediately they sent responders and booms.



However, the PCG ordered the salvaging suspended “to see what better way to avoid another leak.  The wreck was believed to still contain bunker fuel in its lower deck.

That is why the semi-dismantled ship remains in place.

Super Shuttle Ferry 7 (IMO 7322495)


Technical Data








Super Shuttle Ferry 7 floats on its side after capsizing due to strong winds and huge waves unleashed by Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally named Luis, in Manila Bay on September 15, 2014.



A passenger ferry seeking shelter from a strong typhoon capsized Sunday night in Manila Bay, Philippines.

The ferry, named Super Shuttle Ferry 7, reportedly sank at around 8 p.m. Sunday night and was not carrying passengers at the time.

All 15 crew members were rescued after spending up to two hours in the water. One of the crew, a security officer, was not rescued until around midnight, when he was found clinging to a piece of plywood, according to local reports.



Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally called Luis, hit the northern Philippines on Sunday, cutting power and communications lines and forcing people to flee to higher ground, officials from the national disaster agency said.

The ship was abandoned in place and in mid-2017 it was helped to sink

After contacting the Philippine Coast Guard, the master ordered to abandon ship as the vessel flooded. The Coast Guard dispatched rescue craft to the scene. Reports state four passengers had perished or were missing while the rest were rescued by the Coast Guard. The survivors were taken to Odiongan Island. Authorities are conducting a search and rescue of the area.



Then the ship catches fire due to burning cigarettes that fell on the seats, that is the official report.
