MV Ocean Papa

By: abs-cbn news

 Residents of Culasi town in Antique province are worried over the possibility of contamination of toluene di-isocyanate coming from a capsized ship off the coast of the town.

M/V Ocean Papa sank off the coast of Culasi at the height of typhoon Frank (international codename Fengshen) and it was carrying 80 container vans of the toxic chemical.

Residents said their livelihood, mainly fishing, has been affected by the incident, especially since the Philippine Coast Guard is still searching for the container vans.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said the chemical is dangerous to human and marine life.

The DENR also recommended residents not to open the chemical containers that could wash ashore and to report these immediately to authorities.

There have been no reports of any fishkill incidents in the area around the ill-fated vessel.

MV PRINCESS OF THE STARS

Ang Lumubog na barko (MV Princess of the stars) sa Sibuyan Island, Romblon

Ang MV Princess ay nagawa noong 1984,at nagbibigat ng 23,824 tonelada ang bigat ng barkong ito.

Ang barkong MV Princess of the Stars na naglululan ng mahigit na 800 na mga pasahero ang iniulat na lumubog malapit sa Sibuyan Island dahil sa kasagsagan ng bagyong "Frank" kahapon ng tanghali.

Kaugnay nito, apat na bangkay ang umano'y namataan malapit sa sinasabing pinaglubugan ng barko, at pati na rin mga nakalutang na life jackets at tsinelas.
Sinabi naman ni San Fernando, Romblon Mayor Nanette Tansingco na mayroon pa umanong iba pang bangkay na namataan naman malapit sa Baranggay Mabulo.

Sa Baranggay Mabulo, may nakitang babae at lalakeng patay na nasa 40 taon gulang ang idad.

Maraming tsinelas ng mga bata ang nakita sa dalampasigan. Sinabi pa ni Tansingco na bago pa lumubog ang barkong "Princess of the Stars" sa Romblon ay nakatanggap na sila ng inisyal na ulat tungkol dito pero hindi naman umano sila makalapit sa lugar dahil sa lakas ng alon at "zero visibility" pa.

Nauna rito, sinabi naman ng Philippine Navy sinubukan nilang lapitan ang naturang barko ngunit wala silang magawa dahil sa lakas ng alon at lakas ng ihip ng hangin.
Napag-alaman na na dispatch na rin ng Philippine Coast Guard ang kanilang Search and Rescue (SAR) vessel na BRP Davao del Norte upang sagipin ang mga biktimang lulan ng lumubog na barko.

Sinabi rin ng Coast Guard kahapon na pinadala na rin nila ang BRP Pampanga para makatulong sa isinasagawang search and rescue operation sa Romblon.


Bukod sa Search and Rescue teams, ang BRP Pampanga, ay mayroon ding isang oil spill response team para suriin kung nagkaroon ng pagtagas ng langis kaugnay ng paglubog ng "Princess of the Stars" na pag-aari ng Sulpicio Lines.
