Seaway Towing Co. Settles For $75,300
In April 2026, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Seaway Towing Co. (ST), with its principal location in Pittsburg, California, for the company’s violation of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Commercial Harbor Craft Regulation (CHC Regulation), as codified in California Code of Regulations, title 13, section 2299.5 and title 17, section 93118.5.
An investigation conducted by CARB Enforcement Division staff showed that ST failed to adhere to the limits of operational hours set forth in a mutually agreed upon low-use exemption and failed to adhere to the operational limits of a pre-Tier 1 or a Tier 1 engine as set forth in the CHC Regulation. To settle the case, ST agreed to the penalty of $7,530 per each of the ten (10) violations for a total settlement amount of $75,300.
Terms of the settlement include a requirement for ST to comply with all other CARB regulations going forward. ST worked cooperatively with CARB staff to quickly resolve this matter and implemented additional measures to reduce the potential of any future violations.
