FastCat to implement fuel surcharge starting April 1, 2026

MANILA, Philippines — FastCat, a prominent sea transport provider known for its “Ferry Safe, Ferry Fast, Ferry Convenient” services, has announced the implementation of a fuel surcharge on all its routes. The adjustment, which takes effect on April 1, 2026, comes in response to the continuous and significant surge in global fuel prices.

The company issued a travel advisory to its valued passengers and partners, stating that the measure is in compliance with MARINA Advisory No. 2026-10. This move is deemed a necessary step to maintain the reliability, safety, and efficiency of FastCat’s sea transport operations amidst prevailing global energy volatility.

Ensuring Service Continuity Amidst Global Volatility

In its official announcement, FastCat underscored its commitment to upholding the high standards of service that passengers have come to expect. The company conveyed its appreciation for the continued support and understanding of its clientele as it navigates these challenging economic circumstances.

The fuel surcharge, a common industry practice during periods of fluctuating fuel costs, aims to offset the escalating operational expenses directly linked to fuel consumption. This ensures that essential maritime services remain sustainable and accessible for inter-island travel across the Philippine archipelago.

Passenger Assistance

For any questions or assistance regarding bookings affected by the new surcharge, FastCat’s customer service team is available from Monday to Saturday, between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM.
