ENORMOUS VOLUME OF OIL. This Philippine Coast Guard handout photo taken on July 25, 2024 shows part of the MT Terra Nova oil tanker after it sank off Manila Bay. The Philippine-flagged tanker is carrying an ‘enormous’ 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel oil. PCG / AFPThe Philippine Space Agency on Friday generated a map showing the possible extent of the oil spill in Manila Bay due to the sinking of MT Terra Nova.
According to the Philippine Coast Guard , 16 of the 17 crew members were rescued, while one crewman was found dead. The PCG on Friday said it started collecting oil to counter the spread of the spill. In the worst-case scenario in which the cargo of 1.4 million liters of industrial oil leaks from the motor tanker, Balilo said the waters of Parañaque, Manila, Navotas, Bulacan, and Pampanga would be affected.
