SHIP HISTORY | Sulpicio Lines Inc's Speed Queen: M/V Filipina Princess (now PSACC)(ex-Ferry Akashia)

- Here's another new exciting SHIP FEATURE featuring Sulpicio Lines' Speed Queen: M/V Filipina Princess. Why was she called the SPEED QUEEN? Check out the full video to know more details on why she was called that title.
She was the former Ferry Akashia of the Shin Nihonkai Ferry in Japan. She was sold to SLI in 1988 together with 2 more Japanese Ferries: Ferry Harima (later as the M/V Cotabato Princess) and Ferry Seto (later as the M/V Nasipit Princess) of Hankyu Ferry. This acquisition led other shipping companies to step up their game and further ignite the Great Liner War of the 1990s.
Watch the full video to know the full history and details of this magnificent ship! :)

parang naiiyak ako sa last pic spotted niya going to india... as a child in the 90s my father used to take me to the port on weekends to see big ships like wiliam lines, superferry, negros navigation and sulpicio... thank you to this channel super thank you for your content it made me smile and remember the sweet memories 😌
ang haba ng panahon na pinagsamahan nmin ng barko na to ang dami kng ala ala naiwan sa barko na to nakaka miss nman,,,,,,
Thanks for the video. As a kid, we used to cruise with Sulpicio and William Lines. I gained passion in cruising our seas in which I dreamt to be the captain of that ship, M/V Filipina Princess. Until I heard that Sulpicio Lines passenger operations were suspended after the latest ship disaster, my dream to be the captain of the former flagship was shattered. Moreover, Philippine Shipping industry spiraled down. Inspite of the mishaps, I still hope to command a vessel when I grow up. Fast forward today, I ultimately became a captain. Only now, in the airline industry. Still, my passion to experience cruising our seas and bringing the passengers to safety is still there.
I got the chance to board Filipina Princess along with my batch mates back in Oct. 28(not sure anymore), 2001 after ending a weeklong tour of Manila-Subic-Baguio-Laguna for our national tour. She didn't look as beautifil as she used to be compared to when I first saw her on tv ads in the late 80's and early 90's, having plied the route of Manila-Cebu and vice versa for 13 years. We were supposed to board the same ship that had taken us to the port of Manila which was the Princess of the Universe back home to Cebu but due to traffic we our tour bus from our last moment in Luzon in Enchanted Kingdom wasn't able to make it. Consequently we were booked to board Filipina Princess instead the next day morning.
I love watching this channel because this brings a lot of nostalgic memories of the past about Cebu's passenger shipping dominance of the country with so many players tightly competing one another. But now it's over. Gone are those sights of big passenger ships moored at the pier of Cebu at close distance.
I remember this way back 2001 my ojt done with this ship I enjoyed filipina princess lots of happy memories..
My dad used to work in there as an mechanical engineer
Its also were my dad and mom meet each other
And i was name after the ship .
It made me miss my dad
I hope he is happy and at peace now
Nung bata ako, I was always in awe pag nakikita ko tong M/V Filipina Princess pag nakadaong sa Pier 12, ang laki! walang sinabi ang Cotabato Princess pagdating sa palakihan
90s memory:
Waiting for this ship to arrive at Surigao port, from Davao going to Cebu-Manila. Her schedule was every Thursday, 3PM. Looking east, we spotted this huge ship navigating through Nonoc island and smaller islands nearby going to the port.
Once inside, we enjoyed her various accomodations and buffet meals!
This is the only ship that travels the entire eastern seaboard of Mindanao. Strong Pacific wind and waves, notwithstanding. Amazing ship!
My family and I had the privilege of being upgraded (for free IIRC) to suite class on our MNL-CEB journey back in Dec 1990, Suite D, portside. I can still remember the plush soft red carpet inside the entire room. And looking out the two windows, there were the bunk beds of the economy section of the former weather deck. I think we departed a wee bit late at around 11pm and arrived in Cebu before sunset, probably around 18 hours. I even got lost coz I went downstairs to explore and forgot about the stairwell I used (it was enclosed in a room). A very nice ship crew member helped me. I was crying (LOL) already at the time and all I said was "Letter D", coz all the rooms in the floor I ended up in had numbers. He figured everything out and brought me back to Suite D. 😹
On the return voyage, we were billeted in our regular cabin. Portside as well. 50% smaller than Suite D, but still very comfortable. One square window for the cabin itself, and one small round window for the bathroom. It was still a very enjoyable return trip. I even remember strolling at the lounge, where people were watching Rambo on the TV. IIRC, we departed at around 10pm-ish, and arrived in Manila with the afternoon sun still bearing down on us at the pier, probably 4pm.
Thank you for your service to Japan and the Philippines, Ferry Akasha / Filipina Princess.
You might be gone, but never forgotten. ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck and God bless the Management of M/V FILIPINA PRINCESS (PSSAC) serving us back the Surigaonon. Welcome M/V FILIPINA PRINCESS, God bless you always.
Thank you, you had been proud of Japanese made 2nd handed ship.
I miss M/V filipina princess twice ako naka sakay jan frm 1993 September frm manila to davao ang second 1994 August frm davao to manila nice ferries and comfortable luv it❤️
Very nice content! This ship left us it's legacy.
Isa ako ang unang nakasakay pag dating sa manila since 1988 ang pamasahe noon 300 plus free food cebu to manila.nakaka miss ang mga barko ng sulpicio lines.
Ganda ng barko na yan nung araw palagi kung nakikita yan sa pier sa cebu kasama ako palagi ng tatay ko kami taga hakot ng mga containerized na karga sa loob ng barko nakakamiss nung kabataan pa.. ☺️☺️
Ito yung sinasakyan namin from surigao to manila,, we back 1998,, grade 4 pa ako noon 😆 sarap balikan qng nakaraan
Very good video. It's good to see information on the ships. I was a passenger from Manila to Cebu on Sulpicio's Don Enrique in January 1980. Have sent you a photo.
Noong bata pa ako saya saya ko pa nyan kapag darating yan sa Surigao City port kasi ang laki nyang barko. Nakakamiss lang 😔
Ito yong pinaka mabilis na barko sa panahon nya.at very excited sa bawat pasok sa cebu port dahil ito lang ang barkong kahit malayo pa ay nag bibigay na ito ng pinaka malaking alon at halos magigiba ang sea wall.
Nakakamis ang Filipina Princess 1998 una ko nasilayan sa port ng surigao at 2003 nman unang sakay ko❤
Good Evening to ALL thanks God bless to ALL 💕❤️
Traveled on this ship in 1991 from Cebu to Manila. She was darn fast and very stable. We encountered rough seas approximately 4 hrs before docking in Manila and F.P handled it like a charm. This ship was way ahead of its time, it's unfortunate that she suffered her fate with the breakers prematurely.
Isa ako sa mga pasahero nitong Barko na ito..since 2001 mula Davao 42 kami na Batch mula Davao pa puntang manila...hangang ngayon dipa ako naka uwe sa Davao..
OMG what a great tribute with this great stable ship which i usually sailed with travelling from Surigao-Cebu-Manila & Vice Versa. Those were the days. This is truly be a "LEGEND".👍💪👏
I used to be her passenger twice.. During the super typhoon days.. Hope to hear more about princess of paradise.
Grandslam indeed! Sulpicio Lines ranked probably the most number of ships to figure in major disasters, most notable of whom is the M/V Doña Paz which collided with the oul tanker M/T Vector on December 20, 1987, 10 pm, killing more than four thousand (4,000) passengers and all crew members.
First time I saw that ship in the port of Davao I laugh because of her bow design in bisaya word murag nawong ug " PANTAT " But later on year 2007 I was able to serve her as an Engine Crew Ojt.. it was a nice experience kahit tumitirik Ang makina fighting parin. She only rides the rough sea of east coast Pacific ocean from lipata surigao to davao route. She was an Old and experience vessel. really need for retirement for a very long service on which every ship will do.. I can only say that once I board , saw her beauty Ang strength which I will treasure forever...
Proud ako dahil nakapag trabaho aq sa SLI..Nakakamis ang Filipina Princess.. Escort aq jan dati.. Mabilis at masarap ung pagkain jan..
The last time I boarded this ship was when I went to manila in 1998 for the National Jamboree along with other cebuanos and Davaoenios who joined the event. It was fast. It was raining and the ship was swaying left and right. I can still remember the captain of the ship announcing everyone to join in prayer and informed us where the life jackets were. But we made it to manila safe.
Way back 1989 nung bata pa ako nakita ko na po ang barkong iyan. Where set to sail to Ozamis City at nakasakay kami sa isang barko ng William Lines, MV Illigan City ata yung barko na yun ng WLI kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Ang laki nyan that time at na-amazed ako sa kanya.
our ship when going from manila :to surigao ( so many childhood memories !
You will never be forgotten
Good and interesting video👍 Greetings from Germany and its ship friends:)
Please feature General Shipping, Philippine President Lines, Sweet Lines, Corominas & Richards and Escano Lines. I had very interesting and happy experience with Sweet Grace (a brand new vessel) on its maiden trip (actually maiden return trip) from Tacloban to Manila in 1968. Before that, the passenger boats were old, refurbished FS boats from the war era.
I was fourth year high school at that time.. there was a very good competition for passengers at Tacloban Manila route.
Compania Maritima had MV Mactan, Sulpicio Lines had Dona Ana and Sweet Lines MV Sweet Grace..
North Camarines also had a ship plying that route and so with another CM boat MV Leyte. MV General Capinpin was the General Shipping boat on that route.. if my memory serves me right, a boat MV Kolambugan of Escano Lines and so with MV Raja Sulimam also did the Tacloba Manila route weekly.
oh I forgot, before Sweet Grace, Sweet Rose was doing that route.. most of the ships at that time had ports in between and after Tacloban.. Catbalogan, Calbayog, Masbate and Romblon going Manila and Cebu , Nasipit Butuan , Cagayan de Oro , Davao and Cotabato and even Zamboanga were the ports of call after Tacloban.. I think Escano Lines had two Ships alternating the weekly Manila Tacloban Cotabato Davao Zamboanga route..
my family we used to board sulpicio lines NN Suoerferry from Zamboanga to Iloilo.. it was always an amzing trip on vacation day especially summertime
6 years old ako nung nakasakay kami sa MV Filipina Princess papuntang Surigao Del Norte. Grabe ilang beses kaming nasiraan at tumirik sa gitna ng laot. Nakakatakot. Inabot nang 6 days yung biyahe namin na 3 days maximum lang sana. Bata pa ako nun kaya nageenjoy enjoy lang ako sa barko. Di ko alam yung Mama ko alalang alala na pala nung mga time na yun.
Both of these Flagships "M/V Sugbu & M/V Filipina Princess" Was the spark That Ignited the Great liner Wars of 1990's
she's the star in sasa, port of davao every thuesday afternoon when i was in high school.
I was once a chief purser in this ship, great memories..
Daghang dili makalimtan bai..
The purpose of the snout is to break the counter wind to reduce drag and air friction to obtain more speed efficiently... Snout is the aerodynamics design for smooth cruising.
Isa ako ako sa naging passenger dito mula 1999 at dto s barko na to nka meet ng ibang passenger to manila nakakilala at una nka feel ng my crush sa isang , passenger na mg se sea man din mgkakapatid sla .. route davao cebu ,manila...from 1999 to 2009 ska n ako umuwi ng davao dhl tumagal ako s maynila hanggang sa nag saudi ako ....nakakamiss ang filipina princess thank sa content mo ...na search ko lng to sa google at this time na plano ko mg cruise via royal carribean at na reminisce ko yun kabataan ko that time 18 edad ko, naalala ko na sa mganda deck at rooms ako ng stay at my buffet n msrap sa filipina princess , na alaala ko tuloy , naiyak ako s may banda dulo na mg final goodbye to scrap n pla yan few years ago......u will be gone filipina princes, but never be forgotten .
Cool ship, I believe it's an immediate predecessor of the Kriti I and Kriti II that were brought here in Greece.
The Sulpicio Fleet is a sight to behold, hays sayang lang di napangalagaan ang standards and safety.
Thanks like it now 💕💕💕
Excellent and great,
very appreciated news proud be cebuano..
This was the vessel I took when I went the 1st time to Manila (from Cebu) in 1992. I think I was in the economy area, near the window, port side.
The Sulpicio Lines is a Cebu Passenger and Cargo Shipping Company
Pinangarap ko talaga sumakay sa filipina princess noong bata pa ako. Pero hindi ako nakasakay. Pero fan ako ng sulpicio, MV cotabato princess, MV manila princess, cebu princess, Princess of the south, yan lang ang nasakyan ko, pinangarap ko din makasakay sa princess of the stars. Gusto ko sa sulpicio kasi mura, ang pamasahe.
I miss Filipina princess Dyan ako trabaho almost 2years
YN ANG FAVORITE KO NA SHIP SASAKYN GALING SURIGAO TO CEBU "**I MISS MV. FILIPINA PRINCESS.
the snout is an aerodynamic design to lessen the drag caused by the head on winds
Ang natatandaan ko jan laging nagsasalubong ang dona virginia at supecio lines sa pagitan ng romblon tuwing martes at webes mga 90s
was on board SF9 when we overtook the filipina princess entering manila bay way back 1998
How I love this ship
I always take the ship from Cebu to Manila and vv. I took Filipina Princess from Manila to Cebu it was huge and she a very fast ship. I was on the tourist deluxe section very nice accommodation. I really enjoyed the entire voyage very relaxing and the crews are super nice . I used to see this huge ship at mactan beach for she’s one of those that doesn’t go through the usual route or to go under the first bridge because of her size . I always take Sulpicio lines as much as possible unless it’s not available. I had a great experience every time I take Filipina princess and other Sulpicio vessels. I was saddened about the news that their license was suspended and was no longer able to operate after the Princess of the Star incident. Filipina princess , thank you for your service to the country.
Ito ang sinakyan ko noong 1994 galing ako san jose.dinagat surigao city..dumaan ng nasipit butuan..tapos manila na..yan ang huling sakay ko ng barko..
Idol mga ship history din nila SF9, at Maynilad. Pati na rin kay Ex SF16 (now St. Therese of Child Jesus).
Yan ung sinakyan nmin nung ojt sa marine a lots of memory
Solpicio is very good service of the Philippines mostly the passengers
one word to describe her...."legend"
She's a legend, she's an icon, and she is the moment
i was once a passenger of this great ship....
At least sa buong buhay ko nasakyan ko to ng ilang beses. Cebu-Manila-Cebu
isa ako sa paulit ulit na pasahero dyan. Last na sakay ko 2004 yata. tapos un, hanggang ngaun di na rin ako nakauwi ng surigao. Ahhahaa
sana sa ususnod pag may ireretaire clang mga flagship...sana ipaalam nila sa buong bansa para naman sa ganun kahit papaano maka pag bigay ng huling pugay ang mga naging pasahero netong mga flagship na ito.
7:19 maganda to gawan ng feature, the great shipping liner wars
nice
Nakasakay na ako jan ng maraming beses from Manila to Surigao
Sulpicio lines should have more ships to sail
amazing video! can yo do one on the superferry 9 if you will. i can help you.
M/V Wilines Mabuhay 1 of William Lines came in 1993 to compete with Sulpicio Lines and compete with the M/V Filipinas Princess not until the time when Sulpicio Lines brought a larger and grander cruise ship alike the M/V Princess of the Orient to replace the M/V Filipina Princess as the new flagship back in the 90s just to compete with M/V Wilines Mabuhay 1 from Manila-Cebu-Manila route.
Sana makabalik ang pampasaherong barko ng Solpicio lines
How long does it take from Cebu to Surigao via M/V Filipina Princess? I haven't ride there yet
Elementar pa aq nun tuwing bakasyon from surigao to Manila ito ung barko nasinasakyan namin I miss u filipina princess
miss u filipina prencess
All of the above
Wow filina princess nag work pa ako sa port of cebu 2007 nandyan pa sya owner by solpicio lines nang dahil sa star nalonod nawla na lahat pasenger sa sulpiscio
palagi ako sumakay diyan
Was the demise of Sulpicio Lines really untimely? I'd say that it was, in fact, well overdue.
Is this new ship how long this ship started her voyage?
PLS feature the MV Tacloban of william lines....tnx
Please make a video about GOTHONG
all off the above
Please feature nmm M.S. Sta. ANA of NENACO

If sulpicio lines is no longer on services they need to returned back to japan
I thought M.V. Princess of the Paradise was their flagship.
