CEBU CITY – Four passengers were injured when a roll-on, roll-off passenger vessel tilted on its side while unloading rolling cargoes at Consuelo Port in Camotes Island, Cebu last Saturday.

Some crew members and passengers fell to the sea when MV Mika Mari 8 of Jomalia Shipping Corp. started listing.

Lt. Junior Grade Michael John Encina, spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard Central Visayas, said the injured passengers were taken to the Ricardo L. Maningo Hospital in Camotes for treatment. The other passengers were safely rescued, Encina said.

The vessel, skippered by Roger Capin, had 149 passengers and 18 crew members. The vessel was also carrying 11 rolling cargoes when it was about to dock at Consuelo
