                    [Title] => Insurance payments for oil spill unsure
                    [Summary] => 

After the rush cleanup of M/T Solar-1s oil spill in Guimaras Strait, the next phase is long-term restoration of the damaged environment. But completely squeezing bunker oil from the white sand beaches, replanting mangrove patches, and replenishing coral reefs cost money. Starved for cash, the government is hoping that pollution insurance of the ship owner and charterer will bankroll the work.
