Super Shuttle Roro 2
On the afternoon of October 23, the 90 meter long, 1463 dwt ro-ro vehicle carrier Super Shuttle Roro 2 (IMO: 8615722) went aground in Batangas Bay at Batangas, Philippines. The Super Shuttle Roro 2 had been at anchor with a minimal crew on board when it broke free caused by strong winds and rough seas from Tropical Storm Kristine. The vessel drifted until it grounded close to the port. The vessel’s owners have requested a tug to tow the vessel free, but operations were suspended due to the weather conditions. No reports of injuries to the 3 crew on board.
Authorities state the vessel has been secured to a berth and the Philippine Coast Guard is monitoring the situation. When weather conditions improve, the tug will tow the Super Shuttle Roro 2 back to its anchorage. Report state the vessel’s engine was not functional and the vessel had been at anchor since late 2023 awaiting to be drydocked for repairs.
