About MV Doña Paz
MV Doña Paz was a Japanese-built and Philippine-registered passenger ferry that sank after she collided with the oil tanker Vector on December 20, 1987. Built by Onomichi Dockyard Co., Ltd. (Onomichi Zosen) of Hiroshima, Japan, the ship was launched on April 25, 1963 as the Himeyuri Maru with a passenger capacity of 608. In October 1975, the Himeyuri Maru was bought by Sulpicio Lines and renamed the Don Sulpicio. After a fire aboard in June 1979, the ship was refurbished and renamed Doña Paz. Traveling from Leyte Island to the Philippine capital, Manila, the vessel was severely overcrowded, with at least 2,000 passengers not listed on the manifest. It has also been claimed that the ship did not have a radio and that the life jackets were locked away.
