Unison Marine Corp. Settles Ocean Going Vessels Fuels Regulation Violation for $22,500

Unison Marine Corp. (Taipei, Taiwan), paid $22,500.00 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 November 14, 2019.  An investigation by CARB showed that the Unison Marine Corp. vessel, Unison Medal, failed to operate on compliant fuel upon entry into Regulated California Waters in 2019.  CARB alleged three days of violations for a penalty of $7,500 per day.  Unison Marine 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, Unison Marine Corp. agreed to the $22,500.00 penalty for the violations and to comply with CARB regulations.
