Overhaul looms: Iloilo Strait tragedy review of sea transportation
Excerpt
The Iloilo Strait tragedy that claimed the lives of 31 people triggered the need to overhaul protocols, safety nets, and other measures in the sea transport industry. During his visit to the wake of the eight casualties at the Guimaras gym in Brgy. San Miguel, Jordan, Department of Transportation (DOTr) Arthur Tugade admitted the lack of facilities in Guimaras and Iloilo ports. According to Tugade, the current facilities cannot accommodate 15,000 passengers to and from Iloilo and Guimaras.
