July 25, 2024, 11:26 amManila, Philippines—A Philippine-flagged tanker carrying 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil capsized and sank off Manila on Thursday, authorities said, as they raced against time to contain the spill.
“There is a big danger that Manila will be affected, even the shoreline of Manila, if the fuel will leak, because it is within Manila Bay,” Balilo said.A search was under way for the missing crew member, but Bautista said strong winds and high waves were hampering response efforts.The coast guard said it was investigating “if there was an existing weather disturbance in the vicinity waters” when the MT Terra Nova capsized and sank.
One of the worst oil spills in the Philippines was in February 2023, when a fuel tanker carrying 800,000 litres of industrial fuel oil sank in waters off the central island of Mindoro.
