JAKE VINCENT DOS

The 1600 dwt freighter Jake Vincent Dos went aground on Bohol Sea near Bohol Island, Philippines.  The freighter suffered hull damage, but the crew was able to make temporary repairs.  Initial attempts to refloat the vessel failed.   Owners of the vessel dispatched another freighter to the scene to help lighter the cargo of corn and rice off the Jake Vincent Dos. No reports of injuries or pollution released.  Reports state the cause of the grounding was due to a GPS malfunction.
