Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corporation (PSACC), formerly Sulpicio Lines, is a shipping line in the Philippines. The former Sulpicio Lines was suspended by the Maritime Industry Authority of the Government of the Philippines following the sinking of the MV Princess of the Stars in 2008. When it renewed operations, the line had changed its corporate name to "Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corporation".
Sulpicio Lines owned and operated the MV Doña Paz, which was involved in the world's worst maritime disaster during peacetime on December 20, 1987. 4,375 people lost their lives when the ship struck the oil tanker M/T Vector.
As of August 2013, the company's vessels have figured in five major maritime disasters with a total exceeding 5,000 lives lost.
Maritime disasters involving PSACC include MV Doña Paz on December 20, 1987, MV Doña Marilyn in 1988, MV Princess of the Orient on September 18, 1998, and MV Princess of the Stars on June 21, 2008. The latter three were caused by the vessels setting sail during violent weather conditions.
PSACC currently holds the world record for the worst peacetime maritime disaster due to the sinking MV Doña Paz which is said to have claimed more than 5,000 lives in the Philippines.
Philippine Span Asia Carrier's main ports of call are the cities of Manila and Cebu.
