The owner of motor tanker Princess Empress on Saturday said that the oil spill response effort continues to progress in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, weeks after the vessel sank.

In a statement, the RDC Reield Marine Services said the effort continues “to grow and evolve” after it received advice from independent international oil spill expert International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Limited , both at-sea and along affected shorelines.

Further, French oil spill response company Le Floch Depollution and local oil spill response contractors have established operation bases in both Pola, Oriental Mindoro and Semirara Island, while work crews actively remove oil from the priority cleanup sites. Joint shoreline surveys from air and on the ground are also constantly held in any area suspected or reported of being affected by the spill, in order to direct clean-up operations provide environmental monitoring plans that are crucial for affected fishing communities.
