The CCS of Salvamento Marítimo in Tenerife coordinated the escort of a cayuco to La Estaca port by the 'Salvamar Acrux' on Nov 8. There were more than 100 people on board. A few hours earlier, the same center dispatched the 'Salvamar Diphda', after a cayuco was spotted one nautical mile from La Restinga. It rescued the nearly 80 people on board.

A collision took place in early November 2026 off the coast of Cebu, involving the 'Rasalas' and the 'TB Taiyuan' near the Lauis Ledge Lighthouse (a significant lighthouse located in the channel off Talisay City, Cebu). The busy entrance to the port of Cebu was temporarily blocked and rendered impassable. Other vessels in the area had to be diverted via a wide detour through the Hilutangan Channel into the northern channel of Cebu, resulting in significant delays to regional maritime traffic.
