The Philippine Coast Guard, in cooperation with SuperFerry, low cost provider of passenger sea travel, released tips for sea travelers leaving Manila this coming Holy Week.
“SuperFerry values the safety and security of its passengers, and is cooperating with government to make sure that our terminals and vessels stay safe and secure during this peak travel period for the benefit of our riding public. We continously support the government's holy week campaign and is adequately supported by the Task Force Sea Marshall under the command of the Philippine Coast Guard, the PNP Maritime Group, the Philippine Ports Authority, and the Maritime Industry Authority,” said Aboitiz Transport System VP for Safety & Security Jess Supan.
Supan said passengers should be at the pier at least 4 to 6 hours before time of departure so the boarding experience is more relaxed; deal only with authorized company representatives who can be identified through their IDs and uniforms; keep yourself hydrated by drinking water when travelling; bags should be properly packed and sealed; and avoid bringing flammable liquids and solids, corrosive materials, toxic and infectious substances, compressed gases, radioactive materials and explosives.
For passengers requiring medical attention, please secure complete set of medical certificates and call our hotline 24 hours before departure. Bring required medicines for those under medication or treatment during travelling.
Passengers are advised to arrange porterage assistance only at designated counter in the baggage handling area; and are reminded that free baggage allowance for personal items only is up to 50kilos.
