PCG: 2 tanks on sunken MT Princess Empress remain intact with oil

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Saturday said two tanks on the sunken MT Princess Empress remained intact with oil in them, and these would be drilled and the oil would be siphoned out next week.

“Ang plano ay next week, posibleng butasan na ‘yung mga tangke ay pagkatapos po noon ay sipsipin na ‘yung mga natitirang langis,” PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Armando Balilo said in a news forum.

However, salvage operators have yet to determine whether there was still oil that needed to be siphoned out from the other tanks.
