MT Princess Empress should not have sailed into sea as it does not have a Certificate of Public Convenience yet, the Maritime Industry Authority on Thursday insisted.
"It's true that the company has a valid company certificate of public convenience. However, as confirmed by our administrator during the Senate inquiry, this particular tanker vessel, MT Princess Empress, has not yet been added to the company CPC," MARINA spokesperson Sharon de Chavez-Aledo said.
The ROV is expected to arrive on Monday, March 20, 2023, to start operations. It will be deployed to confirm the location of the vessel, which is thought to be at a depth of 400 meters in an area approximately 15 kilometers northeast of Mindoro.
