Coastal Shipping Ltd. fined for oil spill
Coastal Shipping Ltd. and the former master of the "Mokami" have been fined a total of $115,000 after pleading guilty to violations under the federal Fisheries Act. The violations were the result of the September 2009 release of approximately 70 litres of diesel fuel from the vessel into the waters of Williams Harbour, Labrador. The spill occurred while fuel was being transferred from the ship to storage tanks in the community. The company and ship’s master pleaded guilty to failing to properly clean up the spill or mitigate damage, and to failing to report it to authorities. The company was fined $100,000, and the master $15,000. The court is directing half of the total fines, or $57,500, to the Environmental Damages Fund.
