00:00Twelve crew members were rescued from the burning of a cargo vessel in Nasugbu, Batangas yesterday.

00:06Now, we will be joined by Lt. Cmdr. Michael John Encina, the Deputy Spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard.

00:13Good morning to you, Lt. Cmdr. Encina.

00:18Yes, Ma'am Susan. Good morning.

00:20Sir, was the burning of a cargo vessel in Nasugbu, Batangas mentioned yesterday?

00:26Well, yesterday, upon the conduct of rescue operations by the Philippine Coast Guard and our rescue teams,

00:34we immediately conducted what we call MCI, or Marine Casualty Investigation.

00:41We deployed a team to conduct initial investigation, particularly by initially first interviewing our crew members.

00:51And according to the said activity, we learned that the fire came from its funnel,

01:04where, due to the strong winds, some styrofoam stuck to the funnel,

01:12and that's why there was an initial spark, or fire, here in the MV Caspil ship.

01:18Sir, were all of the crew members rescued?

01:21Yes, all of the 12 crew members of the MV Caspil were properly rescued.

01:31We also gave them first aid treatment immediately.

01:36So, all of them are now in the medical care of the Philippine Coast Guard Headquarters.

01:42Were there any serious injuries to them, sir?

01:46In our report, there were no serious injuries.

01:51The good thing about this is that when the PCG received the information that there was a report of a fire,

01:59we immediately deployed a ship and immediately activated our quick response team here in the area of Margondon.

02:08That's why we were able to quickly rescue the crew of this ship.

02:13Sir, what is the load of the cargo vessel? Is there anything that needs to be taken care of?

02:19Well, when there's an incident like this, we anticipate the possibility of oil spill.

02:25That's why, as part of our preparation and mitigating measures,

02:28we deployed another ship yesterday to bring oil spill response equipments and oil spill booms to the area.

02:42The cargo of this ship includes rice packs and cement.

02:49It also has a load of almost 80,000 liters of diesel.

02:55So, this is what we are anticipating and preparing.

03:00Okay. Thank you very much, Lieutenant Commander Michael John Encina of the Philippine Coast Guard.

03:12Thank you for watching Integrated News on YouTube and tuning in to Unang Balita.
