The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Saturday disclosed virtually zero major maritime accidents in 2010.
Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo, PCG commandant, said no major accidents happened. “Virtually, it’s zero maritime accidents this year. No major accidents to speak of. We have two but it does not involved local vessels. These are foreign vessels but it happened in our waters,†Tamayo told reporters.
Tamayo said this showcased good working relationships and teamwork between neighboring coast guards.
The PCG commandant said this is largely attributed to lesser number of storms or weather disturbances, government’s more proactive preparations and the greater maritime safety consciousness or awareness on the part of shipowners, ships’ crew, and the riding public. - pna
