Montenegro Shipping Lines, Inc. has banned all electric and hybrid electric vehicles from its ferry routes following a deadly fire on a Palawan ferry suspected to have been caused by an EV battery. This safety measure is currently operator-imposed as no nationwide regulation exists yet in the Philippines.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new operational barriers as the largest ferry operator bans EVs and hybrids without national rules. You need to check your transport dependencies now or lose access to key maritime cargo routes.
