Authorities said it might take up to two weeks to salvage the sunken tanker Jason Bradley off Mariveles, Bataan .“It will take around two weeks for the salvage operations to be completed for this second vessel,” said Bataan Governor Jose Enrique Garcia. In Jun Veneracion’s report in “24 Oras” on Monday, the wreck of the MTKR Jason Bradley was already surrounded by an oil spill boom. Two Philippine Coast Guard vessels are keeping watch in the area.
The PCG said that the oil leaking from the MT Terra Nova is now estimated to be one liter per hour, far from the two gallons of oil per minute when it first capsized.“That cannot affect doon po sa ating marine environment, so isang malaking development po ito,” said PCG Central Luzon spokesperson Lieutenant Commander Michael John Encina. According to the salvaging company, the pressure valves and the high level alarm sensors of MT Terranova have been sealed.
