California Air Resources Board

Arian Maritime S.A. Case Settles for $7,500

Arian Maritime S.A. paid $7,500.00 in penalties to the California Air Resources Board for violating air quality regulations.  This settlement was reached on July 23, 2015.  An investigation by the ARB showed that the Arian Maritime S.A. vessel Equator, failed to switch over to compliant distillate fuel; the fuel analyzed for sulfur content came back higher in sulfur than the regulated limit.  Arian Maritime S.A. took prompt action after being notified of these violations and under ARB’s supervision began operating in a compliant fashion.  To settle the case, Arian Maritime S.A. agreed to the $7,500.00 penalty and to comply with ARB regulations.
