Seaspan Corporation fined for garbage dumping within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Hong Kong based company Seaspan Corporation and the master of its Hong Kong-registered container ship CSCL Brisbane were found guilty of illegally discharging garbage on August 6 last year within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The illegal discharge was also discovered by an AMSA marine surveyor during a routine PSC inspection at Fisherman Island. It was also found that the ship’s passage plan did not take into account the required marine environmental protection measures as per the safety of navigation requirements prescribed by the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) international convention. Seaspan Corporation was fined $6000 for the illegal discharge and the master was fined $600. http://maritime-executive.com/article/great-barrier-reef-garbage-dumpers-fined
