California Air Resources Board

JP Alliance Ship Management Co. Inc. Case Settles for $10,000

JP Alliance Ship Management Co. Inc., Manila, Phillipines, paid $10,000.00 in penalties to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), for violating the Ocean-Going Vessels fuel regulations. The violations were discovered during a routine inspection by CARB staff. This settlement was reached on November 8, 2018. An investigation by CARB showed that the JP Alliance Ship Management Co. Inc. vessel Thorco Raffles failed to operate on compliant fuel upon entry into Regulated California Waters in 2018. CARB alleged one day of violation for a penalty of $10,000 per day. JP Alliance Ship Management Co. Inc. took prompt action after being notified of these violations and, under CARB’s supervision, began operating in a compliant fashion. To settle the case, JP Alliance Ship Management Co. Inc. agreed to the $10,000.00 penalty for the violations and to comply with CARB regulations.
