Salvage operations for ‘Princess’ face another week's delay

Salvage operations on the capsized MV Princess of the Stars face another week's delay after the salvage firm chosen for the job faced another snag bringing its equipment to Ground Zero.

Radio dzBB's Carlo Mateo reported that Titan Salvage informed a task force handling the MV Princess of the Stars tragedy it will need at least four more days to get its equipment there.

The equipment is expected to reach the area near Sibuyan Island in Romblon, where the ill-fated vessel capsized in the wake of Typhoon Frank, early next week.

Salvage work on the capsized vessel was initially scheduled to start last Monday but Titan claimed recent cyclones that hit the Philippines delayed the entry of its equipment.
