00:00The NBI is now investigating the possible involvement of oil smuggling.
00:04MV Mirola 1 in Mariveles,
00:07along with the oil tankers loaded by two sinking motor tankers in Bataan,
00:14hit Mark Salazar.
00:19In the recovery operation of MT Terra Nova in Bataan,
00:23the U.S. Coast Guard is helping
00:25because of the potential marine ecological damage.
00:29If the oil spill cannot be averted,
00:31the industrial oil loaded by the sinking MT Terra Nova
00:34will be within 1.4 million liters.
00:38We discussed with them the current situation of the motor tanker Terra Nova,
00:43the specific details, like for example, depth of water,
00:47the position of the ship,
00:51what we did in our underwater operation,
00:56and what are the containment measures that we are doing.
01:00On top of that, based on the oil shale that we can see.
01:03Along with the Americans,
01:05the Philippine Coast Guard conducted a simulation earlier
01:08on how they will extract the oil from the sinking MT Terra Nova
01:13to transfer it to these plastic containers.
01:16The recovery operation in MT Bradley is also continuing
01:20to repair the entire ship.
01:23The siphoning pipes are ready for this.
01:26What will happen is,
01:27the siphoning pipes will suck the seawater inside the reset vessel
01:32so that it will afloat.
01:34And then, once it afloats,
01:36the 5,500 liters of diesel oil will be sucked
01:40here in the motor tanker Bradley.
01:43Of the three ships that sank or sank
01:46when the Karina and Habagat typhoon hit,
01:48the MV Mirola Uno has the most questions.
01:52This is not a cargo ship,
01:53but their voyages seem to be illegal
01:56as of now.
01:58Why are their crews hiding?
02:01The initial information is that they escaped
02:04during the bad times.
02:07Why did they escape, sir?
02:09That's what our Joint Investigation Team will investigate.
02:14The NBI also entered the investigation
02:17because of the oil smuggling chaos.
02:20MT Terra Nova first denied the allegation.
02:23GMA Integrated News is working hard
02:26to get the ownership of MT Bradley and MV Mirola Uno.
