Ship owners in oil spill face raps, DOJ vows

Quick Summary:

THE Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday vowed to file charges against the owners and personnel of  MT Terra Nova  and two other sea vessels that may be found liable for the thousands of liters of oil spill off the coast of Mariveles, Bataan that affected nearby provinces such as Cavite and Marinduque.

But, we can see some irregularities already,” Clavano stressed.“We are looking at the sea worthiness of the vessels to make sure that licenses issued to them were not based on misrepresentation,” he added.

MT Terranova was carrying 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel while MTKR Jason Bradley was reportedly carrying 5,500 liters of diesel but this was denied by the ship owner.
