Operations have started to transfer fuel oil from a tanker that sank in a typhoon off the Philippines at the end of July.
About 1.4m litres went down with the 1,415-dwt Terranova (built 2002) after it capsized in Manila Bay, off Limay, 40 km west of Manila, on 25 July.
The DPA news agency cited the coast guard as saying the fuel will be removed from eight tanks, each containing 175,000 litres.
