Some 300 liters of industrial fuel have been removed from sunken motor tanker Terranova off Limay in Bataan, with no leaks and minimal oiling effectively contained, the Philippine Coast Guard reported Wednesday.The contracted salvor on Tuesday started the initial siphoning of MTKR Terranova, which was carrying 1.4 million liters of oil when it sank, as a test before proceeding to a full-scale siphoning."The safe working pressure during siphoning was maintained at a maximum of 0.
4 million liters of oil need to be siphoned to float the motor tanker. But now, Encina said all of the 1.4 million liters of oil would be removed to lessen the effect in case of a "worst case scenario.""May mga in-adopt lang tayo to ensure na 'yung maximum risk assessment natin is applied para lessen lang po 'yung magiging effect if there will be worst case scenario. So ang gusto natin dito is tanggalin lahat ng mga contaminants," he said.
