On the early morning of November 8, the cargo vessel Aries 1 (unknown) ran aground at Barangay Victoria, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The Aries 1 had been at anchor in the port of Currimao when strong waves and winds from Typhoon Marce (Yinxing) struck the area. The crew made an attempt to move the Aries 1 from its position, but the main engine failed and the Aires 1 drifted ashore. Authorities responded late that day and found there were no injuries to the 5 crew on board.

The Aries 1 had been anchored at Currimao for over five months.  Authorities are monitoring the vessel for possible oil pollution released.
