After three years of research, planning and fabrication, a modern marine transport vessel developed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Guimaras State University (GSU) is now in its last stages of construction and will soon be ready for sea trial. “We are looking forward to transfer the vessel to the water this month, and subject it to sea trial by January next year, and regular testing by February,” DOST Western Visayas director, Engr. Rowen S. Gelonga, said.
