$40,000 in Fines Paid by Westport

On March 15, 2005, Westport imported barrels of CARBOB on the marine vessel Kudu. Final notification for each of several compartment batches was not made until after start of transfer. Additionally, testing revealed that the total aromatics of at least one compartment exceeded the predictive model submitted for it. An office conference was held in November 2006 during which the case was settled for $40,000.
