A harbour tug in the Philippines sank after a collision with a Chinese-controlled general cargoship.

The incident in Zamboanga, Mindinao, involved the 6,910-dwt Gold Eagle (built 1997) and a tug identified as La Bella.

The Philippine Coast Guard said there were no injuries or pollution, according to the Inquirer, a daily newspaper.

The Panamanian-flag general cargoship is controlled by Shandong-based Weihai Yunhao International, according to data from Equasis.
