Polembros Shipping Ltd a Greek ship management company was sentenced federalcourt in New Orleans to pay $27 million criminal fine for violating anti-pollution lawsship safety laws and making false statements during a US Coast Guardinvestigation of the cargo ship MV Theotokos Polembros was also ordered to pay aseparate $100000 community service payment to the Smithsonian EnvironmentalResearch Centre

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court

ldquoPollution Crimes Cost Greek Shipper $27 Million Ships Barred from USA NEW ORLEANS Louisianardquo

December 11 2009

Polembros Shipping Ltd a Greek ship management company was sentenced federalcourt in New Orleans to pay $27 million criminal fine for violating anti-pollution lawsship safety laws and making false statements during a US Coast Guardinvestigation of the cargo ship MV Theotokos Polembros was also ordered to pay aseparate $100000 community service payment to the Smithsonian EnvironmentalResearch Centre

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court

ldquoPollution Crimes Cost Greek Shipper $27 Million Ships Barred from USA NEW ORLEANS Louisianardquo

December 11 2009

Polembros Shipping Ltd a Greek ship management company was sentenced federalcourt in New Orleans to pay $27 million criminal fine for violating anti-pollution lawsship safety laws and making false statements during a US Coast Guardinvestigation of the cargo ship MV Theotokos Polembros was also ordered to pay aseparate $100000 community service payment to the Smithsonian EnvironmentalResearch Centre

The criminal prosecutions are under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Preventionand Control Act of 1990 This law established a national ballast water controlprogram in an attempt to prevent invasive aquatic species from entering US waters

Polembros pleaded guilty on September 30 to violating the Nonindigenous AquaticNuisance Prevention and Control Act by failing to maintain accurate ballast water records

The court ordered that all ships owned or managed by Polembros currently 20 vesselswill be barred from entering US ports and territorial waters for three years as acondition of the probation imposed by the court
