Fast Craft operations suspended on Batangas–Calapan route
Written by: Nueva Anya Canoy
Published on:
Effective immediately, several major fast craft operators have temporarily suspended their rapid passenger services on the vital Batangas–Calapan route. This coordinated halt in operations is a direct response to the continuous spike in global marine fuel prices, which has severely impacted the economic viability of running high-speed vessels.
Affected Operators
The temporary suspension of fast craft services applies to the following shipping lines:- Montenegro Lines (Fast Craft)
- OceanJet
- Starlite Sprint
- SuperCat
Passenger Impact & Guidelines
This suspension significantly disrupts travel for thousands of daily commuters and logistics personnel who rely on the Batangas-Mindoro corridor.- Alternative Transport: Travelers will need to rely on standard Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) passenger vessels for the time being. Please adjust your itineraries to account for the longer transit times associated with conventional RORO ships.
- Verify Before Travel: All passengers with advance fast craft bookings are strongly advised to contact their respective shipping lines for ticket refunds or rebooking options before proceeding to the Batangas or Calapan ports.
