Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez asked the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) to explain why it has not apparently resolved the annual problem of commercial vessel shortage especially during long holidays.
The vessel shortage would usually resort to more stranded passengers and long queues of vehicles and Lopez was wondering why this has not been resolved when this is a common problem every year.
