I really didn't know under what Topic to post this...
I'm going to MNL soon and will purchase a Motor Scooter. The seller is a friend. He has all the necessary papers and will give me the deed of sale. The ancar clearance isn't necessary any longer...
Super Ferry .. MNL to CEB
Super Ferry 5 and Super Ferry 12.
Can anyone advise?
I did call Super Ferry and was told there was no price list for the scooter. Is it permitted?
My friends take their vehicles on the ferry or barge to Dumagetti all the time... wouldn't this be similar, albeit, it is a 24-hr-ride..
TIA

Joe,
You will need your legal documentation for any vehicle carried on board most sea going vessels. (I have seen a few exceptions, depending on the day, the shipping lines, the persons on duty, etc.) I regularly have taken mine all over the the Visayas and Mindanao Regions of the Philippines, via Ro-Ro's usually. The most I have ever paid to take my motorcycle on board a boat is Php 1,000, or near to that amount.
I can say one thing here. With some shipping companies, SuperFerry included, they will typically ask you for the value of your vehicle, prior to informing you of the rate. Obviously, the more it is valued at, the more it will cost to ship. So, I usually just tell them the cheapest value, since I have full coverage insurance on my motorcycle anyway.
Anyway, the bottom line here is, yes, you can take a motor vehicle (or motorcycle) on most ferries, barges and ro-ro's in the country. The amount of red tape you have to go through, typically depends on which ports you travel between.
Advice: When traveling around the country, make it a point to take the most "out of the way" routes, usually routing you to smaller ports. Smaller ports = less red tape, thus less time wasted dealing with port officials.
