Shipping firm to offer compensation to victims’ families (12:04 p.m.)
MANILA — Families of those who died in the m/v Princess of the Stars will receive compensation, officials of Sulpicio Lines Incorporated, owner of the ill-fated passenger vessel, assured Monday.
The company is trying its best to hasten rescue operations and assistance to the victims, said Carlos Go, executive vice president and chief executive officer of the shipping firm.
However, the shipping firm explained that its main concern at the moment is the recovery of casualties and the rescue of survivors.
Go said they have deployed m/v Cebu Princess and have hired two Malaysian tugboats to assist in the rescue operations. But the inclement weather has delayed the rescue operation.
Despite this, families were assured that rescue is still underway.(Sunnex)
