Philippines: Around 4500 bags of cement have been salvaged from the MV Star Liberty that ran aground in early September 2018. The ship ran aground at the San Jose de Buenavista Port due to the strong waves caused by the southwest monsoon, according to the Philippines News Agency. The ship was carrying a consignment of 20,000 bags at the time. The salvaged cement has been stored at a dump in Barangay Pantao. The salvage team are hoping to complete the removal of the cement from the ship by the end of October 2018 and then the ship may be transported back to Cebu for repairs.
