Ferry sailings cancelled until eight leaks are patched
An inspector of the Maritime Industry Authority on June 21 has recommended the cancellation of the safety certificate of the "St. Gregory the Great" after it ran aground while passing through the Siete Pecados islands in Guimaras en route to Iloilo on June 15. He found eight holes in the hull of the ferry and recommended the saftey certificate cancellation until the holes were patched. The ship would have to be drydocked for repairs and not be allowed to resume commercial trips until it has complied with safety requirements. The 2GO management was cooperative in the investigation and have not yet appealed to resume their trips. Investigators from Marina’s Manila Enforcement Group will conduct a full investigation.
