    With a little over 100,000 liters of industrial oil left in the sunken motor tanker Terra Nova, the siphoning process is now almost complete, according to the Philippine Coast Guard. The PCG said that of the 1.4 million liters of industrial oil that the tanker was carrying when it sank in the waters off Limay, Bataan on July 25, salvor firm Harbor Star has so far siphoned close to 1.3 million liters of oily materials.

    Macairan, Evelyn (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2024-09-03)
    Rough sea conditions due to Tropical Storm Enteng prompted the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to stop the oil siphoning operations on the sunken motor tanker Terra Nova yesterday. “The contracted salvor, Harbor Star, secured all siphoning lines and containment equipment, closed all hot taps and postponed the transfer of oily waste,” the PCG said.
