The Department of Environment and Natural Resources said it may have already located the sunken tanker, MT Princess Empress, that is leaking industrial fuel and threatening nearby areas in Oriental Mindoro and the Visayas. “We are pleased to report that through the efforts of BRP Hydrographer Ventura, we may have detected the possible site where the vessel is actually located. That site is about 1,200 feet or approximately 400 meters below sea level,” the DENR said in its latest advisory.
