Japan Coast Guard trains Philippine coast guard on preserving evidence in case of ship collision. As collisions between Chinese and Philippine government vessels occur frequently in the South China Sea, the Japanese Coast Guard has informed the Philippine Coast Guard that when a collision occurs.
Thirty members of the Coast Guard participated at the Port of Manila in the Philippines. Using adhesive tape on the ship's side as a collision mark, the participating members measured the height and size from the sea surface while receiving instructions from Japan Coast Guard officials.
