Maersk Singapore fined for pollution
Maersk Tankers Singapore Pte Ltd. the shipping company of the "Maersk Kiera", that left a 20-mile stretch of pollution off Cornwall's coast in February 2012, has been fined £15,000. It was sentenced at Truro Magistrates' Court after pleading guilty to allowing the ship to pollute the sea. It was the first time the MCA has used satellite imagery as the main source of evidence in a maritime pollution prosecution in the UK. The "Maersk Kiera" was nine miles off Land's End - within the UK exclusion zone - when it was photographed by a satellite. The image showed the ship, which was travelling from Liverpool, with the trail of pollution behind it. The ship had been washing its tanks of palm oil, which left residue in the water.
