Maritime Studies: From Traditional to Contemporary Transportation Technology, Shaping the Economic Development of the Zamboanga Peninsula
Michael Vincent P. Caceres
Abstract:
Transition from traditional sea-based transportation to a modernized
system as challenged by the changing economic landscape of the
region and across Southeast Asia was evidentin the field of Maritime
History. Transportation Development in the Zamboanga Peninsula was
brought about by a long historical analysis of Transportation
Technology Management (TTM), also associated with Maritime History
of Maritime Studies as analyzed in this study. This contemporary
transportation technology is designed for mass transportation at a
faster rate and can take long-range distances in transporting
voluminous goods and a thousand or more passengers across the seas
from island to island or archipelago. The presence of this type of
Transportation Technology is vibrant to the economic development of
the Zamboanga Peninsula. Ships as a modern mode of transportation
by the sea were a necessity. The challenges in adhering to the safety
standards set by MARINA and the IMO for reliable transportation at sea
is a significant consideration for the passengers. It also pertains to the
responses made specifically on compliance with the government
regulations and IMO standards was done through the application of
various certifications including ISO. Acquisition of modern facilities to
ensure the safety of the passengers, crew, and the goods were given
attention to some extent. The study generally revealed that the
Zamboanga Peninsula and the Sulu Archipelago became connecting
dots from central Manila as evidenced by the findings on the maritime
operation of commercial vessels that somehow provided an economic
contribution to the region.
