Senators said on Tuesday that owners of the sunken MT Princess Empress may not be able to claim insurance money for the sinking as it was disclosed that the vessel had no authority to operate.
This information was disclosed by Senator Cynthia Villar during a Committee on Environment, Natural Resources, and Climate Change hearing on the Oriental Mindoro oil spill, quoting a Maritime Industry Authority incident report.
“We will have a problem on that maybe," added Villar. "The MARINA and the Coast Guard will explain that they cannot claim from the insurance because they have no permit to operate. Kaya we should not wait for that anymore. They will have a problem with that… Don’t depend on something that will not come."
“From the very start, sinabi niyo sana na ‘Sensya na may problema. Wala palang permit to operate ‘yung barko namin kaya walang insurance na masisingil... Kaya tutulong kami kung anong pwede naming maitutulong sa abot ng aming makakaya,’" said Tulfo.
