Grounding near Jagna

On April 19, 2025, the 'Lite Ferry 5' ran aground near the port of Jagna in Bohol. The Philippine Coast Guard in Central Visayas (PCG-7) responded to a distress call from the ship, which got stuck enroute to Cagayan de Oro City. It was maneuvering to depart when it drifted into shallow waters due to low tide, approximately 200 meters from the port. The Coast Guard immediately conducted rescue operations, together with Philippine Navy, Jagna Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Bantay Dagat, and local fisherfolks, which lasted the entire night. By the morning of April 20, they have accounted all 506 passengers and crew members aboard, and brought them back to shore on the Port of Jagna. In the meantime, PCG officers have conducted initial inspections on the vessel and found no internal hull damage. The authorities have also dispatched a tug from Cebu to refloat the vessel.
