Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Mv-Filipinas-Cdo

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is taking decisive action following a concerning listing incident involving the ferry 'Cagayan de Oro', which occurred off the coast of Laguindingan in Misamis Oriental on the evening of November 11. In response to this event, the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) has mandated a suspension of operations for the vessel, operated by Cokaliong Shipping Lines, effective from November 13. During this period, the Passenger Ship Safety Certificate (PSSC) for the 'Cagayan de Oro' will remain on hold as authorities conduct a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of all information related to the incident.

On the evening of November 12, 2023, around 8:05 p.m., the ferry 'Filipinas Cagayan De Oro' encountered severe weather conditions while navigating near Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental, on its journey to Cebu. The vessel began to list 10 degrees to its port side as strong winds caused instability in its cargo. In response to the potentially dangerous situation, the ship's crew made the decision to return, successfully reaching Macablan Wharf in Cagayan De Oro by 11:20 p.m. Fortunately, all 448 passengers aboard were reported unharmed and in good physical condition upon disembarkation, alongside four rolling cargoes. Following the incident, the Philippine Coastguard stepped in to facilitate the safe exit of passengers and initiated an investigation into the operational safety protocols of the shipping company and crew. The Maritime Safety Services Command (MSSC) has since suspended the passenger ship safety certificate (PSSC) for the 'Filipinas Cagayan De Oro'. Authorities, including the officer-in-charge of Marina Northern Mindanao (Region 10), expressed heightened concern over the vessel's seaworthiness, leading to the PSSC's suspension in accordance with Republic Act 9295, the Domestic Shipping Development Act of 2004.
