no boats,
no business

well it's very low profile, i think they're very cautious in this.. i think if there is a lot of patronage they could expand it very much there's space there. but.. yeah.. it's a market penetration strategy. they can't risk busting the business leaving big white elephants.

Are there any ports in the Pacific Ocean side or Eastern side of country? I only know LEgaspi city. But that's not even a major port, I think. The government should prioritize this and build ecozones in provinces like Samar, Surigao, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines provinces, Albay and Sorsogon. This could be a catalyst for growth in Eastern Visayas, eastern Mindanao,Cagayan Valley, Pacific side of Region 3&4a and Bicol.

Money allotted for RP harbor upgrade
By VG Cabuag
Reporter

THANKS to funding availability, the Philippine government is expected to finish the remaining undeveloped ports subsumed under a project intended to connect land and sea routes all across the country.
According to Oscar M. Sevilla, Philippine Ports Authority general manager, only 12 ports under the Strong Republic Nautical Highway require improvement.
Besides amounting to P50 million each on the average, the port upgrades involve installation of Roll-on, Roll-off (RoRo) ramps and construction of passenger terminal buildings.
“We have the budget [for the construction]. I have already allocated the budget,” Sevilla said, adding that the central nautical highway needs more improvement.
Although the PPA executive did not disclose the 12 remaining ports that needed enhancements, an agency source said eight “big ticket” facilities have already finished its preliminary feasibility studies. These are the ports of San Jose in Occidental Mindoro, Taytay in Poblacion, Palawan, Siaton in Negros Occidental, Pilar in Sorsogon, Matnog in Sorsogon, Aroroy in Masbate, San Ricardo in Southern Leyte and Lipata in Surigao.
“Our private consultants have finalized their report and we have already submitted the studies for National Economic and Development Authority approval,” the source said.
Since it is considered as one of the top revenue earners of the national government, the PPA is seen to possess the financial wherewithal to push through with ports’ improvement.
Last year, it earned an estimated P3.62 billion, an increase of more than 80 percent from the previous year. Half of these were reported to have been remitted to the national government while the other half has been retained so that it can be used for port development. PPA’s planned sale of P2 billion in local bonds are also being earmarked for the purpose.
Although a July 2005 order instructed the transport department to integrate the development of RoRo systems in the country, the government only started meeting early this month, exactly a year after the order was released.

Passenger, Cargo/Freight, Roro, Yacht, Ports, FastFerries, Naval Bases etc.etc.etc.

Meron na kasing Aviation thread (Airplanes, Airports, etc thread). Ngayon naman, diskusyon tungkol sa industriya ng paglalayag sa karagatan. Mula sa mga barko, sa mga pyer hanggang sa karanasan sa pagsakay sa barko o opinyon sa isang pyer/puerto sa Pilipinas.

[WawaY[625]]

ma-o overrated ra bitaw ning mga superferry..mas ganahan ko sa interior sa Sulpicio..sa kong nasakyan ha..(princess of the universe, princess of the world ug princess of new unity) walay ikabuga ang SF 10, SF15 ug SF19..yatis ang SF 19 kay ma-o man diay na ang SF8 sa una..tingala ko murag nagtakilid man kon mudagan..lols

unya (amobot ra if hantod karon) sa Sulpicio kay buffer kung first class ka..unya 3 pa jud ang dining sections (1st, 2nd ug economy) sa SF kay 1st/2nd unya economy..

des pues kon mag sulpicio ka unya mag suite ka..mura gyud kag nag hotel..

Psst, English or Tagalog here guys, we are not in a local city thread.

[habagatcentral1]

SuperFerry 19 is on drydock. Nasa Mactan na ngayon at pinipinturahan ng bago. Balita ko kasi, Aboitiz will reduce its passenger services and more on freight which is 2GO and the likes. Kaya nawala ang SuperCat routes sa Cebu-Tagbilaran at Iloilo-Bacolod v.v. Ang Our Lady of Medjugorje naman nakatambay lang sa kalagitnaan ng Mactan Strait.

For the info sa mga di pa nakakaalam...wala na ang WG&A SuperFerry. Bumalik sa sariling negosyo ang mga Gothong at Aboitiz. Ang SuperFerry na nakikita nyo ngayon ay 100% Aboitiz na.

[FrancisXavier]

talaga.. fully recovered na ba ang Gothong at William lines?
