Update on the Aathalia fishing vessel that collided with Catalyn B passenger ferry in Manila Bay



Just yesterday, the 79-tonne Catalyn B, a flimsy wooden vessel taking holidaymakers to their home village on a small island off the mouth of Manila Bay, smashed into 369-tonne Anathalia, a metal-hulled fishing boat, killing at least four people.

At least 23 people are still missing. Forty-six survivors were fished out of the water on Thursday, along with four bodies, out of a total of 73 people.
