ACCORDING to Philippine immigration authorities, seven Chinese nationals who were found adrift on a disabled vessel off the island of Samar in January have been permitted to go back home, reports Fort Lauderdale's Maritime Executive.
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) received a distress signal on January 26 about the Kai Da 899, a small Chinese merchant vessel, which had no fishing equipment on board.
On January 27, the patrol vessel BRP Cabra established a tow to bring her to safety at the port of Tacloban.
After the rescue, it was discovered that the vessel had no stability letter, tonnage certificate, or registration documents.
The seven Chinese nationals on board had no passports or immigration paperwork, and the vessel was detained while the PCG evaluated the case.
The Chinese embassy later revealed that the crew were wanted by the Chinese police, and they requested that they be handed over to the Philippine Bureau of Immigration for deportation. The crew was taken into custody by the PCG for transfer to the Bureau of Immigration.
