A small tanker loaded with industrial fuel sank off the coast of the Philippines in bad weather early on Thursday, causing a large oil spill.
Sixteen of the 17 crew members were rescued from the 1,415-dwt Terranova (built 2002), which sank off the coastal town of Limay, in Bataan province, with 1,494 metric tonnes (11,000 barrels) of industrial fuel on board.
