Please be advised that the Department of Transportation and Communication
(DOTC) has issued a memorandum, Notice to Mariners Number 143-2015 that
in light of the APEC Leaders Meeting that will be held at PICC from November
18 to 19, 2015, certain areas within Manila Bay that are near the venue will be
closed to maritime traffic.
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has identified specific coordinates for the “no
sail zone” and entrance to the South Harbor has been included.
We are coordinating with PCG to see how the situation can be managed
considering there are liner vessel scheduled on those days. We will keep you
posted on developments.
Meantime, we will be discussing directly with affected carriers on how we can
mitigate foreseen operational interruptions.
We request for your kind understanding and cooperation
