The head of the joint US Coast Guard-Bureau of Ocean Energy Management panel said Tuesday that Transocean is deliberately trying to thwart the investigation into the destruction of the Deepwater Horizon

摘要

Speaking at the hearing, held this week in Metairie, Louisiana, Coast Guard Capt. Hung Nguyen said the panel has been trying for two months to get Transocean to turn over materials related to its compliance with international safety management codes. Transocean lawyer Ned Kohnke said the company has acted in good faith and produced everything it believes it should, adding that the panel has the right to go to court to enforce the subpoenas. Another attorney accused Nguyen of being biased toward Transocean and insisted the captain remove himself from the panel. That request was immediately denied.
