By: Tonette Orejas - Philippine Daily Inquirer
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Two boats that the Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Phil. Inc. uses to ferry its workers capsized in separate incidents on Friday, nearly drowning five crew members of one of the boats, a Hanjin official told the Inquirer in a telephone interview.
Tirso Rosal, Hanjin safety manager, said the two boats that capsized off the Redondo Bay, near the villages of Nagtulong and Calapacuan in Subic, Zambales, were not carrying passengers.
The second boat, which carried a crew of five, capsized at 1 p.m., Rosal said.
The boats, both made of wood and fitted with floaters, could carry 50 to 70 workers, he said. Hanjin’s rescue team plucked the crewmembers to safety. Rosal said the boats might have capsized due to strong waves.
