Tanker officers plead guilty to dumping oily water overboard, and lying about it
Two officers aboard the oil tanker M/T Stolt Facto have pleaded guilty to improperly disposing of oily bilge wastes overboard, then falsifying records to hide the disposal. Former Stolt Facto second engineer Anselmo Capillanes, 46, a citizen of the Philippines, was sentenced on July 9 to two years of probation and was ordered to pay a $15,000 fine, by U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey in New Orleans. Former Stolt Facto chief engineer Inigo Albina, 57, also of the Philippines, will be sentenced on Aug. 7 for his role in the pollution incident. The two men pleaded guilty to violating the federal Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships. The 26,328-gross-ton oil tanker Stolt Facto is owned by Stolt-Nielson LLC and operated by Gulf Stolt Ship Management, based in Dubai. A statement from the company said it is cooperating with the U.S. Justice Department in the investigation.
