The 634 dwt ro-ro ferry Starlite Atlantic ran aground near Brgy Argao, Malay, Aklan, Philippines. The vessel was anchored off the Caticlan anchorage when high winds and large waves cause the anchor to drag.  The Starlite Atlantic continue to drift when the anchor chain parted and the vessel drifted into the shallows.   No reports of injuries to the 31 crew on board.  The captain reported he will attempt to refloat the vessel on the next high tide.  No reports of damage or pollution released.
