Grounding in monsoon storm
The LCT 'ASC Lara' drifted aground amid strong winds and high swell approximately 200 meters away from the shoreline of Barangay Oloc, Laua-an, in the northern part of Antique province on July 22, 2021. She came from Barangay San Vicente, Palawan, and had reached Barangay Ilaures, Bugasong, Antique on July 17 to load aggregates. While being towed on July 22 by the tug 'James' from Barangay Ilaures, Bugasong to Pandan, the towing line snapped, resulting to the barge’s grounding once again in Barangay Oloc. She needed to be towed from Bugasong to Pandan since its propeller was damaged. All 17 crew members were safe onboard the vessel. The ship was to be salvaged once the weather has improved.. She was chartered by a quarry permittee from Bugasong supposedly to get aggregates for shipment to Palawan.
