Barge owner pressed to pay for oil spill
Excerpt
AC Energy Corp., owner of the power barge that discharged bunker oil into this city’s waters following an explosion Friday last week, is being pressed to compensate those adversely affected. “There is no skirting the issue. We will face the issue head-on,” said Gabino Ramon Mejia, head of AC Energy’s plant operations. The Oil Pollution Compensation Law of 2007 (Republic Act 9483) imposes strict liability for oil pollution damage and guarantees adequate reparation for adversely affected populations, especially those that depend on fishing and seashell harvesting.
