Pacific International Lines (PIL) has been fined US$3 million for the illegal dumping of oil from one of its ships into Guam’s Apra Harbor.
The offence was detected on 4 October 2019, after the US Coast Guard received a report, alleging that PIL’s ship, 1,080TEU Kota Harum, had discharged oil into Apra Harbor, in violation of the Clean Water Act.
