Chandris hit with $1m pollution fine
Greek owner Chandris has agreed to pay a $1m fine for dumping pollution into the Texas Gulf Coast. The owner pleased guilty at a Texas court to violating the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships. The chief engineer of the Sestrea -an LR product tanker Chandris operated – failed to document that the ship had dumped directly into the sea oily waste that should have been disposed through a separator aboard the vessel or burned in the ship’s incinerator. Chandris was also sentenced to three years of probation. http://splash247.com/chandris-hit-with-1m-pollution-fine/
