MV Ocean King

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MV Ocean King was an inter-island Ro-Ro ferry which partially capsized off Southern Leyte, Philippines, on 28 July 2009 with 121 people on board. All wet, but none lost.[1] The vessel is reported to have sailed its maiden voyage on 16 April 2009 with the Philippines president on board.[2]

An earlier vessel of the same name was owned by Avon Shipping & Trading Co, Hong Kong in the 1960s and scrapped in 1971.
