The immediate cause of capsizing was the failure of the Master to exercise extra ordinary diligence and good seamanship committing an error in judgement bringing the said vessel into the eye of typhoon “Frank”. Another cause was the failure of the company to prevent or discourage the Master from leaving port and sailing despite the sever weather condition. The proximate cause of capsizing was the failure of SLI to effectively implement its Safety Quality Management Manual.
