Chartworld Shippping Corp. Settles Ocean Going Vessels Fuels Regulation Violation for $15,000
Chartworld Shipping Corp. (Athens, Greece), paid $15,000.00 in penalties to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), for violating the Ocean-Going Vessels Fuels Regulation. The violations were discovered during a routine inspection by CARB staff. This settlement was reached on October 22, 2019. An investigation by CARB showed that the Chartworld Shipping Corp. vessel, Schweiz Reefer, failed to operate on compliant fuel upon entry into Regulated California Waters in 2019. CARB alleged two days of violations for a penalty of $7,500 per day. Chartworld Shipping Corp. took prompt action after being notified of these violations and, under CARB’s supervision, began operating in a compliant fashion. To settle the case, Chartworld Shipping Corp. agreed to the $15,000.00 penalty for the violations and to comply with CARB regulations.
