Hi All, Here is a press release that I thought would be of interest.
"Statement of U.S Transportation Secretary Rodney E. Slater on US Coast Guard's Role in Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines' Guilty Plea for Environmental Crimes
I would like to express my thanks to U.S. Coast Guard Commandant James M. Loy and the Coast Guard men and women who played an invaluable role in bringing about today 's guilty plea of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) for environmental crimes.
The Coast Guard's investigation, during which it observed RCCL's Sovereign of the Seas dumping oil off the coast of Puerto Rico in October 1994, led to the criminal prosecution resulting in today's record $18 million fine and the company's guilty plea to 21 counts for dumping waste oil and hazardous chemicals and lying to the Coast Guard."
OK, now who recently sent me that oily Sovereign of the Seas chip?
--Alan.
