“PPA does not cancel trips. If the [Philippine Coast Guard] issues no sail policy, trips are automatically canceled because ships are not allowed to sail,” the PPA noted.

It added, “Shipping lines may also cancel trips subject to compliance with the terms of their [certificate of public convenience] issued by the [Maritime Industry Authority].” /apl
