On the morning of September 22, the fishing vessel Jobhenz sank in the Philippine Sea off Santa Ana, Cagayan, Philippines. The fishing vessel had sought shelter off the coast from the strong winds and heavy seas caused by Typhoon Ragasa when it capsized by the strong winds. The hull completely overturned trapping inside some of the 13 crew on board.  Authorities were alerted by the vessel’s owner who was unable to contact the fishing vessel during the early afternoon.

The Philippine Coast Guard launched a search and rescue operation to search the last known location of the Jobhenz. The Coast Guard would find the overturn hull of the Jobhenz along with reports that 4 of the 13 crew had swam over to another nearby fishing vessel who rescued the crew from the sea. The Coast Guard would later cut open the hull and discovered 2 additional survivors who were taken to hospital for medical treatment.

Divers would continue to search around and inside the vessel over the next 2 days. Authorities were unable to find any additional survivors, but would be able to recover the bodies of the remaining 7 missing crew members. Survivors told authorities the vessel was struck by successive waves that caused the Jobhenz to lose stability and roll over.  No further details reported.

The 35 meter long fishing vessel Santa Ana ran onto the rocks off the shore of Erbosa Island near Cabo Peñas, Spain.  The fishing vessel had been fishing for mackerel in the area when it crashed onto the rocks during the early morning hours.  The Santa Ana quickly flooded and sank.  The master, who was at the helm at the time, was able to abandon ship.  He was rescued by the nearby fishing vessel Maresco.

The 190 meter long, 39768 dwt tanker Santa Ana suffered an explosion while undergoing repairs at Bremerhaven, Germany.   The explosion  in the engine room injured 11 people who suffered burns or broken bones.  Three workers suffered severe burns and were flown to nearby hospitals.   The workers and crew closed off entrances to the engine room and engaged the CO2 fire suppressing system preventing the fire spreading to other sections of the vessel.   The local fire brigade arrived and quickly extinguished the blaze.
