Crane ship Jacson 25 is expected to be back at the Tubbataha Reef this morning after loading in Puerto Princesa City equipment and personnel needed for salvage operations for the grounded USS Guardian, said Commodore Enrico Efren Evangelista, commander of the Coast Guard-Palawan District. Jacson 25 arrived at the Tubbatah Reef Saturday night from Singapore to lead the salvage operations for the US Navy ship that ran aground at the reef on January 17 after a port call in Subic Bay. Last Sunday, it was supposed to take in equipment and personnel from the smaller crane ship Smit Borneo but the transfer could not completed due to strong winds and rough sea.
