“The owner of the ship takes primary legal responsibility, but we, as the charterer of the ship, have to bear a social responsibility and take proper measures, as this accident has significantly impacted the environment and people’s life in Mauritius,” Mitsui OSK President Junichiro Ikeda told a news conference on Friday.
In addition, the shipping company plans to provide further support to local fishing and tourism industries, though details will be worked out later. Media reports this week said initial investigation results by Panamanian authorities questioned the level of seamanship onboard the Wakashio. The captain and another member of the crew have been arrested by Mauritius police. The crew were supplied by maritime services company Anglo-Eastern Group, and the Hong Kong-based company has not responded to several requests for comment by Reuters since Thursday.“We have recognised a media report about the investigation by Panama’s authority, but we would like to wait for the results of the inquiry by the Mauritius government,” Nagashiki said through its public relations company, MTI Network.
I thought that place was supposed to be underwater by now. Clearly so did the ship captain.
That does not sound like a lot of money to clean up an oil spill.
