Indian ship served notice for spilling oil at sea at Patenga

Staff Correspondent . Chittagong
The Department of Environment served on Thursday a show cause notice to the local agent of an Indian ship for spilling oil at the Petnga coast, Doe officials said.
Sigma Shipping Ltd has been asked to show cause by December 28 why legal action would not be taken against the Indian ship MV Ocean Pearl for spilling oil at Patenga, said DOE director Jafor Alam.
Chittagong Custom House commissioner Jamal Hossain said that the Indian ship beached at Patenga without taking permission from the customs authorities.
‘We got proof that the ship spilled oil,’ said the DoE director.
‘We collected the sample of water from around the ship that got aground near the Patnga coast,’ he said.
He said, ‘The test reports confirmed that the ship spilled oil.’
‘After receiving the reply, we will go for the next course of action,’ he said.
‘Meanwhile, we requested the Chittagong Port Authority to do its part of the job against the vessel for causing environmental hazards at our coast,’ he said.
There is little initiative to refloat the Indian ship MV Ocean Pearl causing severe environmental pollution, since it got aground at the Patenga coast on November 13, shipping sources said.
It is laden with more than 16,000 tonnes of fertiliser imported by the Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation from China, said Chittagong Port Authority deputy conservator Nazmul Alam.
The ship was forced to go for emergency beaching at Patenga coast as it was about to sink after developing cracks at the bottom after hitting an underwater wreckage near the port channel, he said.
Leakage of oil from the ship was detected during a survey on Tuesday, DoE director Jafar Alam told New Age.
He said, ‘DoE officials found a number of barrels filled with oil spilling from the ship.’
He said that they also traced oil slicks in the coastal water.
He said, ‘We have decided to go for legal action against this ship for causing environmental pollution that poses a threat to the marine life in the bay.’

DoE serves notice on Indian ship

Sygma Shipping Line, the parent company of Indian flag carrier Ocean Pearl, has been served with a notice to answer by December 28 why the company would not be prosecuted for causing oil spill in the Bay.

The Department of Environment (DoE) served the notice on the basis of a probe into the oil spill off the coastline of Sitakunda after The Daily Star on Wednesday reported that pilots and passengers of Bangladesh Biman and Regent Airways saw an oil slick in the Bay.

“We have served the notice as a routine procedure to prosecute the polluter under the environment conservation act,” said DoE Director Zafar Alam in Chittagong.

The Ocean Pearl, that has remained grounded for more than two months, caused the spill in the Bay during an unauthorised transfer of 400 tonnes of furnace oil and diesel, said a DoE official wishing anonymity.

The captain of the ship defied the maritime and environmental laws that make it mandatory for any ship to seek permission from the Customs and Excise to sell or discard oil.

Customs officials said the ship did not take any permission from them. They suspected that the entire stock of furnace oil and diesel was dumped into the sea to salvage the ship.
