MANILA, Philippines - The Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) yesterday suspended nine Superferry vessels after one of its ships figured in a collision that caused the death of a fisherman and injured six others in Sarangani province Friday morning. | |||
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesman Lieutenant Commander Algier Ricafrente said Marina issued a voyage suspension order against the Superferry fleet that is owned by the Negros Navigation-Aboitiz Transport System. | |||
This includes the passenger and cargo ships M/V Superferry 20, M/V Superferry 1, M/V Superferry 2, M/V Superferry 5, M/V Superferry 12, M/V Superferry 21, M/V Cebu Ferry 1, M/V Cebu Ferry 2 and M/V Cebu Ferry 3. | |||
“The respondent Aboitiz Transport System Corp. was directed to coordinate with the Maritime Safety Office of Marina for the immediate conduct of additional ISM (International Safety Management) audit and re-inspection of said ships,” added Ricafrente. | |||
He said the Seafarer’s Identification Record Book, commonly called the seaman’s book and the Qualification Document of the officers and crew of M/V Superferry 20 and the ship’s safety certificates were also cancelled until further orders. | |||
Marina set the hearing on the maritime mishap on Nov. 25 at 10 a.m. | |||
Initial information reaching the PCG showed that at around 11:45 p.m. of Nov. 17, the F/B San Jose Bayanihan was navigating to Balot Island from General Santos City when hit by M/V Superferry 20 that had just left Makar Wharf and was enroute to Manila via Zamboanga City. | |||
At that time, the PCG General Santos station was conducting maritime patrol and saw the fishermen on water. | |||
The lone fatality was identified as 60-year-old Giovanni Buntong, who was hit by a debris from the destroyed boat. | |||
Those injured were the boat captain Mendoza, 52; Rex Bulawin, 28; Marjus Iramis, 20; Joseph Tiones, 20; Regalado Sender, 19; and Bryan Inero, 17. | |||
