According to relevant information, the management company of the container ship "Ocean Abundance" is Oceanic Container Lines (Oceanic Container Lines), which crashed into Manila's North Port at about 3 a.m. on August 10th, local time. At Pier 2, the concrete pier was also severely damaged during the impact.
There is no detailed information on the extent of damage to the ship and the pier.
However, it can be seen from the photos taken at the scene that the ship’s front starboard hull has been severely damaged, and there is a huge crack on the waterline, at least one meter long. There is no doubt that the wharf has also been severely damaged, and the extent of the damage is still unknown.

In fact, after the accident, the ship has been docked at the pier without moving.The reason for the lack of movement may be that the ship cannot be safely towed out due to technical reasons, or the decision to fix (at least partially fix) the huge hole in the impact before moving.
The crew of this container ship told the Coast Guard investigators that the collision was caused by engine failure.People on board reported that the engine had malfunctioned while trying to reverse the ship.
