The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) confirmed that the oil spill in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, was mixed with industrial fuel oil. This after the MT Princess Empress sank with a load of approximately 800,000 liters of oil due to engine trouble. The MTUG Titan continues to apply dispersant to the water and in the shoreline assessment conducted by the PCG in Pinamalayan, ‘patches of emulsified oil’ were observed.
