Multiple ferry routes were suspended on Thursday, October 22, due to treacherous waters brought by Super Typhoon Rosal, according to an advisory issued by the Philippine Ports Authority at noon. The agency identified three Port Management Offices with canceled sailings: the Masbate, Mindoro, and Bohol facilities. The operational halt reflects efforts to safeguard passengers and crew as the powerful storm system moved through the region. The suspensions affected inter-island ferry services that typically connect the Visayas and nearby provinces. Ferry operators and port authorities remained on alert for updated guidance as weather conditions continued to evolve throughout the day.
