The “MV Diamond Highway” has been lying off the coast of Lapu-Lapu City in the Central Province of Cebu since Typhoon “Rai” in December 2021. The fire broke out when metal scraps were cut through on board. Everyone involved in the action is safe. More than 100 ships ran aground or sank during the typhoon. More than 400 people died.
Typhoons strike the Philippines every year, some of which cause severe devastation. In November 2013, storm Haiyan claimed the lives of more than 6,300 people. Shipping is part of everyday life in the Philippines. The archipelago consists of more than 7000 islands. The Southeast Asian country’s worst peacetime shipping disaster occurred in 1987, when a ferry collided with a tanker. Then more than 4000 people died.
