The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) continues to monitor the “very thin oil sheens” seen from two of the three vessels that sank and ran aground off Bataan. Oil spill booms are still present in the areas where tanker MT Terra Nova sank in Limay and where MV Mirola 1 beached on the shores of Mariveles, according to the Coast Guard. It said the PCG is performing “continuous repositioning and maintaining of oil spill booms” for the Terra Nova as well as “monitors oil spill booms and continues oil recovery and containment” on the Mirola 1.
