Philippines recovers oil from sunken tanker, avoids disaster

Between August 19 and Sep 10, according to the coast guard, about 1.38 million gallons of oil spare were recovered.

The oil and water mixture was transported to a nearby care facility.

The beach guard had previously stated that the amount of oil that escaped from the ship’s vehicles had been low, but local institutions had established “no-catch” areas that affected tens of thousands of fishermen in the sea.

In order to conduct an ongoing investigation into the plunging, the government intends to refloat the ship.

On Thursday, Encina made a decision not to explain the research.

In February 2023, a ship carrying 800 000 gallons of commercial gas fuel sank off Mindoro, one of the worst oil spills in the country.

The hunting and tourism industries were harmed by the vessel’s heavy fuel and gasoline fuel, which contaminated the waters and beaches along Oriental Mindoro province.

The oil was spread over hundreds of kilometers of lakes known for having some of the world’s most diverse aquatic life.
