air travel = getting there fast is the point
sea travel = when you're on a boat you've already arrived

Hi, Can anybody tell us of any developments of this project???

bustero · January 3rd, 2006, 12:38 PM

there's nothing on the dotc website I think it'll just come out when the contract has actually been signed, these things can take several months even if everyone is in agreement.

Richard, I've never seen an R2 builders website. Are you sure it exists. You may get more info from Philipine Ports authority website regarding this though.

Gov’t to spend P1B to build nautical highway

The Philippine Star 01/04/2006

The national government intends to spend P1 billion to build the country’s nautical highway system this year, Cebu Rep. Eduardo Gullas said.

The amount would be used to complete the remaining links of the Western, Central and Eastern Nautical Highways and strengthen the viability of the entire system, Gullas said.

"The funds will be spent mainly to improve the network of municipal ports and coastal roads that support the nautical highways," he explained.

The idea is to further ease transportation services and mobility in seaside towns leading to harbors that form part of the system.

To date, the nautical highway system, which includes the Cebu-Bohol-Camiguin roll-on, roll-off (RORO) complex, has reduced transport costs by 37 to 43 percent for passengers and by 24 to 34 percent for cargo. Travel time was also reduced by 10 to 12 hours.

As a result of the considerable reduction in transport cost and travel time, Gullas said the nautical highway system has also invigorated domestic merchandise trade and tourism in a big way.

The nautical highway system maximizes the use of RORO facilities to move passengers and cargo from Mindanao to Visayas to Luzon.

The Western Nautical Highway is the western seaboard trunk route from Manila to Dipolog City or the Northwestern tip of Mindanao, which connects to the central trunk route at Cebu City in Central Visayas.

The Central Nautical Highway is the central trunk route connecting Pilar, Sorsogon to Balingoan, Misamis Oriental, passing through Central Visayas and connecting to the East-West trunk routes at Cataingan, Masbate and San Carlos City in Negros Occidental.

Is Negros Navigation still in business? I remember as a kid going to Bacolod from Manila using their ships.

MarkiiBoi · April 3rd, 2006, 02:18 PM

Yes kire. NN is still up and floating..

kiretoce · April 3rd, 2006, 02:23 PM

Good to know!

I guess since airfares are considerably cheaper these days and travelling times have been cut short because of it, I wonder how the shipping companies keep their businesses afloat?

MarkiiBoi · April 3rd, 2006, 02:27 PM

SuperFerry i believe is slashing their prices off for summer.

bustero · April 4th, 2006, 05:44 AM

One othe competitor believe it or not is the cellphone, the aboitizes actually noted that increased cellphone expenditure has cut into interisland travel.
