Talks are ongoing to salvage a Hong Kong-controlled general cargo vessel that has been stuck on a Philippines beach since February.
The captain of the 8,600-dwt Sunny Link (built 1995) chose to ground the ship at Abagatanen due to hull damage as it carried steel plates from Indonesia to China, the Philippine Coast Guard said.
The local government unit in the region has declared the stranded vessel a “public nuisance”, the Philippine News Agency reported.
