‘Nona’ cancels ferry trips in Ormoc port

AT least six trips of three fast sea craft companies operating in Ormoc port were cancelled by the local Coast Guard and all sea vessels were prevented from sailing on Sunday following a weather bulletin issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Tropical Storm ‘Nona’.

Commander Giovanni Bergantin, Ormoc Coast Guard Station chief, in a text message said that the cancellation of trips was based on the weather bureau’s warning that the center of ‘Nona’ was only about 565 kilometer east of Catarman, Northern Samar.
