Vessel Owner Hit with $1 Million Fine After Bunker Spill

A group of three tuna fishing companies, Tri-Marine Management Co., Tri-Marine Fishing Management, and Cape Mendocino Fishing - referred to collectively as Tri-Marine - have agreed to pay $1.05 million in fines, perform fleet inspections, and implement other corrective measures after one of their vessels was involved in a bunker spill in American Samoa, Marine Log reports. The spill is said to have occurred on October 16, 2014, after Tri-Marine's 230 ft commercial tuna fishing vessel, the Capt. Vincent Gann, struck two moored fishing boats in the Pago Pago Harbor. The hull of the Capt. Vincent Gann is reported to have sustained damage during the collision, which resulted in 35 barrels of marine fuel, said to have been illegally stored in the vessel's bulbous bow, being spilled into the water. http://shipandbunker.com/news/world/304483-vessel-owner-hit-with-1-million-fine-after-bunker-spill
