Transcript
00:00 A fast craft's crew was caught in the middle of the sea and was hit by a propeller on the other side of Bohol.
00:09 We are now with Police Captain Ruel R. De Ocampo, Station Chief of Bohol Maritime Police Station.
00:16 Good morning, sir.
00:18 Good morning, ma'am.
00:20 Let's go back to what happened to this fast craft. Why did the crew fall?
00:27 Yes, ma'am. On Friday, February 23, 11.30am, the ship was about to leave for Bohol to Cebu.
00:40 While the ship was maneuvering backwards, the crew was at the back of the ship to cover the luggage.
00:51 The ship was moving sideways and suddenly slipped while the ship was moving backwards.
01:00 So, don't SOPs, for example, make the crew sit down when the ship is about to take off?
01:07 In this case, there are no standard operating procedures that require the crew to sit down before the ship or any sea vessel is anchored.
01:17 Yes, ma'am. That's one of the things we will look into during our investigation.
01:23 Why did that happen? What are the safety operating procedures? Did they follow them?
01:28 Even if we say that it was an accident, we will still look into the safety operating procedures.
01:35 If they are following them.
01:37 Aside from the SOP, who are the people we see in the first investigation who have answers?
01:44 I will look into the boat officer, our boat captain, ma'am. I will look into his checklist to see if it is complete.
01:54 Are they really following the minimum safety standards that are being followed during the operation of the vessel?
02:01 Captain Deocampo, has the company of Naturang Fastcraft already made an announcement regarding this incident?
02:08 So far, ma'am, I haven't talked to them yet. I only talked to their marine manager who is willing to cooperate with us in our investigation of what happened.
02:18 Did you get any information from the victim's family if they will file a case?
02:24 Yesterday, ma'am, when I called them, they couldn't talk properly because they were still investigating the victim.
02:35 Today, after the living, they will go to the office.
02:42 And do you have any information regarding the help that can be extended to the victim's family?
02:49 Yes, ma'am. The company, Ocean Jet, is fully supportive. They are helping the family.
02:55 Alright. Thank you very much, Police Captain Ruel R. Deocampo, Station Chief of Bohol Maritime Police Station, for the information you gave us.
03:04 We will continue to keep you updated regarding the investigation. Take care.
03:09 Thank you very much, ma'am.
03:10 Salamat Namak.
