MV Cebu City

MV Cebu City

MV "Cebu City" was a ferry operated by William Lines Incorporated which later merged with Aboitiz Incorporated in 1996. In December 2, 1994, the 2,452 tonnes ferry sunk in Manila Bay after colliding with Singaporean freighter "Kota Suria" claiming 140 lives. After the investigation by the Philippine Coast Guard, the crew of "Cebu City" was found responsible for the incident. The collision could have been avoided if the "Cebu City" obeyed a call from the freighter "Kota Suria" to turn right. Instead, "Cebu City" reportedly turned left and crossed to "Kota Suria's" path.
