                    [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.
