"The residents of Padre Burgos town in Southern Leyte province heaved sighs of relief after the tanker carrying 230,000 liters of diesel fuel that ran aground on the town's barrier reef more than two weeks ago was finally removed on Tuesday.
The MT Shirley Ann was towed by two tugboats of the Harbor Star salvor company that was hired by the South Pole Transport Corp., the owner of the tanker, on Tuesday from a barrier reef where it ran aground past midnight Aug. 29, Padre Burgos Mayor Ricardo Borces said.
Borces said in a telephone interview that he was happy that the tanker was finally removed."
