Aerial photo of oil sheen Aug. 12



SARANGANI (August 13, 2011) – In this photo taken at 2:30pm Friday, August 12, on board a Philippine Coast Guard aircraft, oil sheen is moving away from land and monitored to be about 4.4 nautical miles off Maasim, Sarangani. Commander Roy Echeverria, acting commander of the PCG station in General Santos City, said the oil sheen “will naturally just disperse and it will just evaporate.” Cargo vessel M/V Bulk Carrier 1 which sank off Maasim August 9 leaked oil after colliding with the larger Monrovian-registered M/V HS Puccini.
