Sri Lanka lodged claim with owners
On April 9 Sri Lanka lodged a claim with the Greek owners of the 'New Diamond' which had caught fire and left a spill stretching 40 kilometres off the island in September 2020. Authorities were now seeking compensation from the Greek firm Porto Emporios Shipping Inc for the damage. The Attorney-General forwarded the marine pollution claim for $17.38 million to lawyers of the owners of the tanker in respect of the oil spill caused. This is in addition to previous claims for reimbursement for the cost of the fire fighting efforts and a fine levied against the captain of the ship for contributing to and failing to properly report the environmental damage. A final report of the damages was presented to the country’s Attorney General at the end of last week. The Attorney General’s office had been working with other government agencies, including the Marine Environment Protection Authority in the preparation of the report.
