LETTER - SENT tO MARINA bY JETTY PORT ADMINISTRATOR aBOUT tHE COMPLAINT oN OYSTER FERRY

A letter had been sent by Caticlan Jetty Port Administrator, Nieven Maquirang to the Marina Office.

The letter was related to the complaint on the Oyster Ferry which carries passengers from Caticlan to Cagban Port and vice versa.

The matter was confirmed by Town Council Member Dante Pagsuguiron during the Town Council Session of Malay on June 11.

The letter had to do with the illegal discharge of waste from the ferry directly into the sea at the area of Cagban jetty port.

Earlier, a complaint on the Oyster Ferry was made to the Cagban jetty port by boatmen wherein a picture was taken to prove that the ferry was discharging waste water into the sea.

Meanwhile, according to Caticlan Philippine Coastguard PO1 Rokie Borja, the Oyster Ferry had gone to Navotas City for a dry dock. Dry docking is allegedly done annually for maintenance on the ferry and it also includes its waste disposal system for passengers so the wastes will not directly go into the sea.

Borja added that the ferry is expected to come back in July to resume ferrying passengers.
