U.S. fines European shipping firms for pollution, falsifying records
Two European shipping firms were ordered on Tuesday to pay a $10.4 million (6.7 million pounds) penalty and given four years probation for illegally dumping oil-tainted bilge water as well as falsifying records. The firms - Columbia Shipmanagement GmbH of Germany and Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd of Cyprus - admitted to illegal activity on three oil tankers and one container ship, including bypassing the use of required pollution prevention equipment. Both firms are subsidiaries of Schoeller Holdings Ltd, a closely-held shipping and hotel company based in Limassol, Cyprus. The companies in March pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, making false statements and failing to maintain accurate oil record books, which are inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard.
