Based on initial probe, the PCG said MV Ocean Abundance had an engine problem wherein the reverse function of the vessel supposedly did not work.

"The bow of the vessel and the pier was damaged. There is no trace of oil spill in the area," it said.

The incident is still being looked into, according to the PCG.—AOL, GMA News
