Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck and obstruction report for coordinates 13 34.321 N, 120 56.168 E located in Batangas Bay, Philippines. Initial hydrographic survey data from September 2006 identified a potential underwater hazard at a general depth of 490 meters. Due to the significant depth and lack of confirmation, maritime authorities categorized the sighting as a possible floating derelict or an electronic charting error. Subsequent analysis in 2015 compared this position against NGA chart 91300, leading to the wreck record being amended as dead or removed from active navigational concern. No wreckage, such as welded steel or structural remnants, has been confirmed at this Batangas Bay location.
