"CEBU CITY, Philippines -- A passenger fast craft appeared to have been in error when it slammed into a barge at the Tagbilaran City port on Saturday evening.
William Isaga, Tagbilaran City Coast Guard station commander, said their initial investigation on Monday showed that the Oceanjet 3 captain was apparently taking a shortcut when it hit the LCT Valerie, a barge carrying sand and gravel from Hindang, Leyte.
"My initial findings showed that Oceanjet vessel made a shortcut. Oceanjet was supposed to enter between beacon 7 and 8, but it turned out that it entered the beacon number 5 vicinity. So there was an attempt to shortcut, which they normally did," Isaga said.
But Ocean Fast Ferries Inc., owner of the fast craft, denied this."
