ILOILO CITY — At least 392 passengers, truck drivers and cargo helpers were stranded in 36 ports across Southern Luzon and the Visayas on Thursday as Super Typhoon Inday continued to whip parts of the country with strong winds and rough seas, prompting the suspension of sea travel, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said.
In its Maritime Safety Advisory covering 12 noon to 4 p.m. on July 9, the PCG said the weather disturbance also left 118 rolling cargoes, five vessels and 30 motorbancas unable to sail due to unsafe sea conditions.
