PCG: Sunken tanker had 900K liters of fuel oil
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) clarified on Tuesday that the sunken motor tanker Princess Empress in Oriental Mindoro was carrying 900,000 liters of industrial fuel oil, not 800,000 as previously reported.
According to PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Armand Balilo, despite the higher volume, the ship was still within its weight and capacity limits when it sank in late February.
Balilo also stated that they are awaiting investigation results to determine if the sinking was due to neglect or force majeure.
