Ship captains tell conflicting stories of Cebu collision
MANILA, Philippines - Whose story is true?
The captains of MV St. Thomas Aquinas and MV Sulpicio Express Siete told conflicting stories about the collision of their ships last week at Lawis Ledge in Talisay, Cebu when they were called in by the Special Board of Marine Inquiry (SBMI) yesterday.
The SBMI also called in the captain of Trans Asia Nine as the vessel was reportedly present in the accident area prior to the collision on the night of Aug. 16.
Captain Reynan Bermejo of St. Thomas Aquinas said he was traversing the inbound lane on the way to Cebu when he noticed in the radar that another ship was in the same lane.
Bermejo said he tried to contact the other ship through channel 16 but there was no answer. At the time, Thomas Aquinas was traveling at 15 knots and was a mile away from the Sulpicio Express.
Minutes before the collision, Sulpicio Express was still not responding. Bermejo said it was already too late to slow down the Thomas Aquinas as it takes around eight minutes to completely halt the propeller of the ship.
Four minutes before collision, Bermejo said it was only then that he saw the red light from Sulpicio Express, prompting him to immediately turn to port or left side. The red light is a sign for a ship to turn right while green signals left.
Bermejo said that upon shifting to port side, he then attempted to turn right to avoid collision. But Sulpicio Express shifted gear also to its right which consequently led to the collision.
Captain Rolito Gilo of Sulpicio Express denied Bermejo’s claims.
The emotional Gilo said it was Thomas Aquinas that suddenly changed gear at only 0.4 nautical miles. He thought the passenger vessel would turn to its starboard or right side since it was showing a red light.

Dapat at least tig isa isang milyon yang mga yan. Lahat ng pasahero. Pag hindi kasya iliquidate ang assets. Although life is precious and priceless, makatulong man lang kahit papaano doon sa mga namatayan, at para nadin madala itong mga kumpanya na ito.
Sige negligent ka? Mag sara ka na. Pang ilan na itong nabalita na ito eh.
Bukod doon, kalaboso din dapat yung mga directly involved kagaya nung capitan oh kung sino man nag mamaneobra niyan.
Nakakaawa talaga, pero ito namang media walang tigil sa kakapiga ng storya. Paulit ulit lalo sa TV. Ginagawang drama ng mga reporter eh.
Thanks for the share mate.

Wala bang parang blackbox ng airplane ang mga ship? Siguro dapat na rin mag lagay ng ganun, para malaman kaagad kung sino talaga ang may fault. Hirap ng ganito kasi maraming buhay ang nasasakripisyo. Marami rami na rin ang sea mishaps satin sa pinas ah.

Nakakaawa for those who died and sa mga naiwan nilang pamilya. Human error is the result of irresponsibility! Luma na rin ang barko ba't hinayaan pang maglayag? Based sa mga nabasa ko wala tayong maayos na vessel traffic system kaya ganyan na lang at d naiiwasan ang mga sakuna sa dagat. hayy Im just praying for the 2 captains conscience. Nadamay pa ung mga crew nila. Lahat yan uulit ng training pagbaba another gastos na naman kawawang mga seaman. Haizt!

Common sense and prudency lang naman dapat eh... Alam mo na mabigat yung barko mo and matagal ka mag stop or mahirap mag manouver, ano gagawin mo? Sa kalsada nga, when in doubt, brake. Sana tumigil na muna sya. Problema dito sa dalawa malamang nagpapataasan ng ihi eh. Naglaro ng chicken. Wala rin pinag iba sa bus driver and jeepney driver. Pwe.
