The private contractor hired to clean up the oil spill in Iloilo has started drawing an estimated 1.5 million liters of oil from the fuel tanks of Power Barge (PB) 103 that run aground in Estancia, Iloilo during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda.

“We already took some 117,000 liters of oil out of the stricken power barge’s fuel tanks, as of 5 p.m., Saturday, December 7. The oil siphoned off PB 103 is being conveyed to the MT Obama, which has a capacity of 850,000 liters,” said former Army Capt. Sonny Sarmiento, incident commander of Kuan Yu Global Technologies Inc.
