[Title] => Oil from Solar 1 siphoned off
[Summary] => An Italian marine engineering company has begun to siphon fuel from a tanker that sank in Guimaras seven months ago, causing a devastating oil spill, officials said yesterday.
The MT Solar 1 lies 640 meters underwater off the island province of Guimaras after being holed in rough seas last August while transporting 2,000 tons of bunker fuel.
Petron Corp., which owns the cargo, said Sonsub, a deepwater operations company, has been contracted by the insurers of the tanker to remove the cargo using the Allied Shield, a specialist oil recovery ship.

ILOILO CITY — An Italian firm is fabricating equipment to be used in offloading the remaining bunker fuel in the sunken tanker Solar 1 starting February next year.
The company, Sonsub, has been contracted to offload the oil from Solar 1, which sank off the coast of Guimaras last Aug. 11, triggering the country’s worst oil spill.
The 10 cargo holds of the sunken tanker are believed still containing over a million liters of oil. Petron had chartered the vessel to transport two million liters of oil to Zamboanga.
