SUMADSAD ang dalawang barko sa Batangas port dahil sa patuloy na pananalasa ng bagyong Kristine.

Sa pulong balitaan sa Malakanyang, sinabi ni Philippine Ports Authority Assistant General Manager Mark Jon Palomar na kabilang sa sumadsad ang isang domestic cargo vessel na hinahanap ang Kapitan.

“There were two vessels in Batangas which hit our port, one was the Super Shuttle 2, it was at anchorage sometimes during the night, it broke anchor. It was reported and when they were looking for the captain, he was not on the vessel, which is a violation of our regulations. We are currently conducting an investigation on this and proper charges will be filed,” pahayag ni Palomar.

Oras aniya na mapatunayan na inabandona ng Kapitan ang barko, sasampahan ito ng kaso ng PPA.

Iniimbestigahan na rin aniya ngayon ng PPA ang foreign fuel tanker na Cassandra na una nang nahuli ng Bureau of Customs.

“It was requested that they be moved but the vessel was not moved and it was completely unmanned. So an investigation is also ongoing regarding the liabilities of individuals involved,” pahayag ni Palomar.

Ayon kay Palomar, sa monitoring ng PPA, nasira na ang mga pantalan sa Bulan, Sorsogon; Pio Duran sa Albay at ang base port sa Legazpi.

Inaalam na aniya ng PPA ang lawak ng pinsala sa mga nabanggit na pantalan.
