  1. Amo na dapat nila panumdumon nga mabudlay mag ubra sa barko, ang iban nagapagusto lang ka gasto ka kwarta ka seaman, pero kabuhi ang ginataya nila, iban nagapahambog nga seaman bata nila! Daku allotment nila! Mga tikalon pa! Wala Sila kahibalo kung ano ka risky mag ubra sa barko

  2. Saddened for the loss of life at sea.
    Not prejudging the investigation outcome, unfortunately Similar incidents will continue to occur onboard unless we have a more stringent control measures over mis-declared containers contents as well as proper IMDG Stowage segregation, in my experience this incident would be a perfect example of what not to do.
    Hyundai Fortune incident comes to mind…Have we not learnt the lessons YET???
