As of 10 a.m., Rosal was located 400 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes, according to the weather bureau.
“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. Shipping lines may also cancel trips subject to compliance with the terms of their [certificate of public convenience] issued by the [Maritime Industry Authority],” the PPA stated. /das
