US Launches Another Shell Probe

摘要

A fourth government probe is under way into Royal Dutch Shell’s mishap-prone 2012 Alaska drilling season, this time for possible violations of international marine environmental rules, a US Coast Guard official said on Wednesday. The Coast Guard has asked federal prosecutors to consider taking action on possible violations of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (Marpol) committed in the operations of Shell’s Kulluk drillship, said Rear Admiral Thomas Ostebo, head of the Coast Guard in Alaska.
