ZAMBOANGA CITY: One fisherman was missing, presumed dead and seven others were injured after a ferry rammed their boat before dawn Friday off Maasim town in the province of Sarangani, police said.  
Marina suspends 9 cargo, passenger ships By Evelyn Macairan The Philippine Star Updated November 20, 2011 12:00 AM 0 comment to this post 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.
Police said the mishap occurred at around 1 a.m. while the Superferry was sailing for Manila. It said the missing fisherman was identified as Jovani Buntong. The other crewmembers were rushed to a hospital.
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.
Other reports said the fishermen were fixing their engine near the port when the ferry rammed their trawler. The vessel did not stop despite the mishap and continued sailing leaving behind the trawler in total wreck and its crew on their own.
“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.
The ship’s owner, Aboitiz SuperFerry, did not give any statement about the mishap.
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.
