A barge carrier has been arrested and fined in Aliaga, Turkey, and its planned demolition postponed following a row over of an oil spill off the region’s coast last August.
As TradeWinds reported last year, the 38,282-dwt Harrier (built 1989) was alleged to have caused a spill off the Turkish coast in the Foca area about 32 kilometres (20 miles) south of Aliaga.
