Pollution and environmental charges laid on Singapore cargo ship

Charges have been laid against the master of the APL England cargo ship for offences related to pollution and damage to the marine environment. The Singapore flagship had been on a voyage from China to Melbourne on Sunday when rough seas caused about 50 cargo containers to topple overboard because of poor cargo loading. The Australian Marine Safety Authority laid the charges and ordered the shipowner, APL Singapore, to pay $22 million. The fee must be paid before the ship is released from detention in the port of Brisbane. Image: News Corp Australia Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
