On December 31, the 420 dwt cargo vessel Euro Uno ran aground just offshore of Misamis Oriental, Mindanao, Philippines. The Euro Uno was headed for Siquijor from Lligan City with a cargo of 900 sacks of flour and 3500 sacks of pollard feed when it was struck by a storm. A large wave caused the cargo vessel to be blown off course from the port entrance and wash ashore some 50 yards off the beach. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. Reports state the vessel remains aground, but the company has arranged a tug to begin salvage operations on the next high tide.
