Fifteen Filipino crew members of the cargo vessel MV Devon Bay safely returned to Manila after being rescued by the China Coast Guard in a rare moment of maritime cooperation in the disputed South China Sea.

The crew was recovered near Scarborough Shoal after the Singapore-flagged vessel, carrying 55,000 tonnes of nickel ore, encountered trouble believed to be caused by cargo liquefaction and rough seas. The survivors were later transferred to the Philippine Coast Guard ship BRP Teresa Magbanua.

Philippine Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan thanked the China Coast Guard for responding to the international distress call, stressing that saving lives transcends territorial disputes.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing for four missing crew members, including Captain Elimar Jucal, who was reportedly the last to leave the sinking ship. Two crew members were confirmed deceased.

01:03Because we dispatched a message
01:05as soon as we received the distress
01:07call in accordance with
01:10the International Aeronautical
01:11and Maritime Search and Rescue
01:13Manual. We dispatched a call
01:15to all MRCCs all over the
01:17world to render
01:20aid to a vessel in distress.
01:22And we thank the China Coast Guard
01:23for also listening to our call
01:25for conducting the search and rescue.
01:27operations themselves and for
01:30the very orderly handover

01:33persons to the Philippine Coast Guard.
01:36Kahit doon sa laot, yung mga

02:21The initial
02:32statements of the crew
02:35suggest
02:36that the cargo,
02:38it was carrying around
02:3955,000 tons
02:44of
02:45nickel ore
02:46nagkaroon ng liquefaction
