A Chinese Coast Guard vessel was tracked near San Felipe, Zambales last Tuesday, December 10, but the said vessel was actually spotted in Hong Kong. According to Joseph Morong’s report on “24 Oras” on Friday, a Chinese vessel with body number 21543 was caught in the AIS tracker that the residents use in monitoring dredging activities in their area.
“These are Chinese operated dredgers according to the report of the commanding officer of Magbanua, some of the crew are Filipino, some are Chinese nationals,” said Commodore Jay Tarriela, PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea. According to PCG’s tracking, the CCG 21543 roamed in most parts of the world. This is a violation of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, the PCG said. The PCG added that it’s time to investigate dredging vessels that could be used in spying.
