Carlos A. Gothong Lines (CAGLI), popularly known as CAGLI, is a passenger and cargo ferry company based in Cebu, Philippines. CAGLI was formerly a part of WG&A SuperFerry, a merged company in January 1996 which served 23 major provincial ports throughout the Philippines, and was the first domestic shipping company in the country to be certified by the International Safety Management Code standard. CAGLI, William Lines and Aboitiz Shipping (Aboitiz Trasport System Corporation) formed what is still, today, the biggest merger that ever happened in the history of the Philippine shipping industry.[1]
