In the same area of the Philippines authorities are having to contend with oil spills as a second tanker sank on Saturday evening, just two days after another ship went down. The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported over the weekend that they discovered leaks on the sunken tanker Jason Bradley. The small, 39 m long vessel was carrying a cargo of diesel when it sank in shallow depths in Bataan, near where the Terra Nova tanker capsized and sank on Thursday, in close proximity to the capital, Manila, spilling significant volumes of oil. In total, a slick spread over more than 70 sq km has been detected in Manila Bay with salvors working hard to contain the damage from the two incidents. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsPhilippines
