Germany's MST fined $3.2 million for polluting the USA

Portland, USA - The German shipping company MST Minerals Schiffahrt Spedition und Transport GmbH (MST) will have to pay a fine of 3.2 million dollars in the US for “obstruction of justice” and “concealing environmental violations”. The allegations relate to the years 2016 and 2017.

According to documents filed in court, MST discharged oily bilge waste from one of its ships, the Marguerita bulk carrier, at several port calls in Porland.

MST pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships and one count of obstruction of justice for using falsified log books to hide intentional discharges of oily bilge waste occurring over a nine-month period during which the ship regularly made port calls in Portland, Maine.
