Philippine RoRo modernization leads to competent tourism movement and safe sea travel
An integrated network of highway and vehicular ferry routes connect the major islands of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, the roll-on, roll-off (Roro) vessels allow tourists to travel from one island to another to enjoy the destinations as it enhances the accessibility of the prime tourist destinations in the country. With the nautical highway system already in place, there is a strong need for safe and efficient sea craft. Every year sea accidents happen due to overcrowded, overloaded, old, poorly designed and ill-maintained shipping vessels. The high incident record of sea mishaps has prompted other countries to release travel advisories warning their citizens visiting the Philippines against taking interisland ferries.
