  • Tubbataha reef salvage
    Tubeza, Philip (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2013-03-31)
    The salvage team working on the USS Guardian, which ran aground in Tubbataha Reef, removed the warship’s last remaining section early Saturday afternoon after being stuck on the Unesco World Heritage site for more than 10 weeks, a Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) official said. PCG Palawan District chief Commodore Enrico Efren Evangelista said the stern of the 68-meter US mine countermeasures ship was lifted off the reef at around 2 p.m. The US warship hit the upper side of the South Atoll, one of the two main atolls comprising the Tubbataha Reefs, at dawn on Jan. 17 while it was on its way to Indonesia.
  • ATI joins Coast Guard, stakeholders in bay cleanup
    (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2018-09-29)
    Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) recently teamed up with the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, the city government of Manila, local schools and other maritime and business stakeholders in cleaning up the shores of Manila Bay in support of Ocean Conservancy’s 33rd International Coastal Cleanup event. ATI employees joined thousands of volunteers who turned up at the Manila Baywalk Area during the weekend clean-up drive to help clear tons of debris, especially those washed ashore in the spate of recent typhoons and weather disruptions. The Manila South Harbor operator supports the annual initiative with the hopes of raising environmental awareness and encouraging more stakeholders to protect the historic Manila Bay, a major trade waterway and livelihood source for nearby coastal communities.
