MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed three 44-meter multi-role response vessels to augment the ongoing oil spill response operations in Bataan following the sinking of the Philippine-flagged Motor Tanker (MT) Terra Nova 3.6 nautical miles east of Lamao Point in Limay on Thursday.
Admiral Ronnie Gil L Gavan, PCG Commandant, said these vessels would start the application of oil dispersants to immediately mitigate impact of the accident on the marine resources in the affected area, especially during the period where siphoning was being prepared.
