The Philippine Coast Guard saved 10 Chinese crew members after their tugboat lost engine power.

The vessel called M/Tug Virgo was adrift around 43 nm off Coron on Monday.

The Coast Guard Station Northeastern Palawan got a call from Mr Supan, a supervisor of TORO Marine, who said that the tugboat was facing certain issues.

The BRP Malapascua was sent to conduct a search and rescue operation, which located the tugboat and towed it to Barangay San Fernando, El Nido.

Per a crew member, they were sailing from Malaysia and were going home to China when the ship’s engine failed.
