Altera Infrastructure has hit back at a NOK 8m ($747,000) fine imposed by the Norwegian police for scrapping two shuttle tankers at India’s Alang beaches.
Okokrim, Norway’s National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime, had probed the sale and export of the 124,200-dwt Navion Britannia and 126,955-dwt Alecita Spirit (both built 1998) in 2018.
It claimed they were scrapped in breach of the European waste disposal directive.
