The Maritime Industry Authority has suspended the safety certificate of motor vessel Esperanza Star following a fire that occurred on board the ferry on Sunday.
The shipowner of the sunken MT Princess Empress has yet to appeal the revocation of its Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) as it is not yet final and executory, the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) said on Friday.
The shipowner, RDC Reield Marine Services, faces a one-time maximum penalty of P100,000 if the revocation becomes final
The Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) is preparing to issue show cause orders against some of its personnel who may have been involved in green lighting the operations of the sunken MT Princess Empress despite its questionable seaworthiness.
Several personnel of the Maritime Industry Authority might be held liable for allowing the sunken motor tanker Princess Empress to sail without a permit to operate.
