Egyptian firm fined $7.25m for ocean dumping

  • Egypt: Wednesday, April 30 - 2008 at 11:36

A US judge has approved a $7.25m fine against an Egyptian shipping company that dumped oil sludge at sea, reported AP. National Navigation Co, the largest international shipping in Egypt, pleaded guilty to 15 counts of violating pollution laws in Oregon, Washington and Louisiana, and trying to cover it up. The company did not dispute most of the evidence but blamed the violations on the fact that it was deceived by some its chief engineers.
