MV Asia South Korea : ウィキペディア英語版 | MV Asia South Korea MV ''Asia South Korea'' was a Philippines passenger ferry owned by Trans-Asia Shipping Lines that sank off Bantayan Island in Cebu province on 23 December 1999. It was discovered that the number of passengers aboard exceeded the total capacity of the 27-year-old ferry. ==Sinking== The 2,840 ton ''Asia South Korea'' sailed from Mandaue on Cebu Island late on 22 December bound for Iloilo City on the island of Panay. She had been initially barred from sailing after a Coast Guard inspection found that the ship was overloaded. Permission was finally given to sail after excess passengers were debarked. At 05:00 on 22 December the ship was off Bantayan Island in stormy weather. According to one crew member a large wave swamped the ferry, knocking out the power. Life vests were then distributed and rafts were launched immediately. Other reports state that the ship was off course and struck a reef before sinking.〔 The cargo ship MV ''Jon Dexter'' reported that they saw the ferry listing on its port side with no lights showing minutes before it sank. The ''Jon Dexter'' and the ferry MV ''St. Peter the Apostle'' rescued many survivors before Philippine naval ships and military helicopters arrived.〔
