“Illegal dumping of oil and falsification of oil record books are egregious violations. This guilty verdict should serve as a reminder that the Coast Guard and our partners at the Department of Justice will work tirelessly to hold accountable those that seek to deliberately discharge oil and falsif…

[image] ombugge: stop referring to all foreign flag vessels as “FOCs” and all foreign seafarers as “3rd world villagers”? No one on here has ever done that though. That’s another one of your biased assumptions about Americans.

[image] Seago: They are crippled with hubris. Has anyone here ever seen them back down (or their superiors) even when they are wrong? Silly you, you are doing it wrong! You see, it’s up to you to ensure they never have to back down, because you must ensure they always have an out from any pe…

[image] Kennebec_Captain: Another point; it’s not known with any accuracy if it is in fact high risk. Could be low risk high consequence. It’s low risk high consequence. It’s mainly a matter of convenience. There are any number of ways to temporarily install a way to bypass an OWS. Any mildly…

[image] MAK: don’t make your subordinates do it, or let them see you doing it. Especially if your subordinates hate you! (From the “not detained” article : Filings submitted in the case indicate that the accused chief engineer was the object of the “deep hatred” of his former subordinates, w…
