The DMW said the two Filipino seafarers who were seriously injured during the incident arrived via a chartered medical evacuation flight at 6:45 a.m. Thursday.
“The two were received by a medical team and taken to hospital where they will continue their recovery. They have also been reunited with their families in hospital,” it said.
“The crewmen and their families have requested privacy at this time,” it added.
The other 11 Filipino seafarers who were also crew members of True Confidence have been repatriated in the country on Tuesday, March 12. They were unharmed.
