New England ship company admits to dumping oil waste in Gulf of Mexico
July 16 (UPI) -- A Connecticut-based shipping company pleaded guilty to pollution charges after crew members on one of its ships deliberately dumped more than 10,000 gallons of oil waste into the Gulf of Mexico. On Tuesday, company officials of Eagle Ship Management LLC pleaded guilty to violations of the 1980 Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships and was given a fine of more than $1.7 million. "Today's announcement sends a clear message intended to deter deliberate pollution," stated Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson for Louisiana's Eastern District. "This office will continue to work with our agency partners to enforce the laws that were designed to protect U.S. ports and waters." In addition, the Stamford-based ESM would be ordered to serve a four-year probation term to include an external company audit by an independent source if court-approved. The U.S. Coast Guard initiated its investigation after a crew member on the foreign-flagged bulk vessel "Gannet Bulker" sent it a tip on social media in March 2021 soon after the purported incident near the Mississippi River's mouth, according to court documents. ESM admitted in its guilty plea that Gannet ship officers "engaged in a variety of obstructive acts to conceal the internal flooding that was caused by a botched repair." Records show the unidentified crewman said the Gannet's engine room flooded and that the ship's oil-contaminated bilge pumper offloaded the toxic waste overnight. Flooded bilges can pose a number of dangers to a ship and its crew. Federal officials noted that the incident took place without required safety equipment or proper bookkeeping. "The criminal conduct involved here was serious, including intentional pollution and a deliberate coverup," said Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Adam Gustafson of DOJ's environment and natural resources division. Meanwhile, the ship's unidentified captain was prosecuted and later sentence to a year and a day behind bars for his role in the incident. Officials stated that among the obstructive acts was retaliation against a whistleblower with a known identity to the company. They added that Gannet's senior officer and other crew members lied to Coast Guard officials, destroyed control room information as evidence and "created false and backdated personnel evaluations intended to discredit the whistleblower." It's the second known similar instance in recent years of a ship offloading oil into the waters off the coast of New Orleans. In September, the captain of a Turkish ship was given eight months in prison and his company fined $2 million after crew, likewise, rid their carrier of oil waste into open water. Sentencing for Connecticut's Eagle Ship Management is scheduled for October 16.

Drew McIntyre Takes a Brutal Dig at the Fatu Family's Legacy in the WWE
Image via WWE The Samoan Dynasty has one of the richest wrestling legacies in the history of the business. From 'High Chief' Peter Miavia to Rocky Johnson or modern greats like The Rock and Roman Reigns , the family has been at the forefront of the sport ever since their inception. And it is only natural that whenever any family member makes their debut in the WWE , the world notices. The Bloodline saga dominated the promotion for over four years, followed by The New Bloodline storyline, which pitted half a dozen family members. The point is that every single member, ranging from Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga, received widespread attention once they decided to debut in the Stamford-based promotion. And this is something that hasn't sat well with Drew McIntyre. Drew McIntyre Says the 'Fatu' Surname Is a Golden Ticket to Stardom Ahead of his blockbuster match against Randy Orton at Saturday Night's Main Event, the former WWE Champion sat with Kent Brown of Sports Illustrated to promote his upcoming outing. While discussing his career and the path to success, he quipped that the surname 'Fatu' holds great value and can help newcomers gain an unfair advantage over others. 'No, I couldn't really care less what your last name is. My journey is very different from basically anybody's ever. I came from Scotland and was the first-ever Scottish person ever signed directly from Scotland to WWE, a country of five million people. I've had such a unique journey, [with] a lot of ups and downs on the way. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The longtime fans out there will know everything I've been through, and [I've] had to fight for everything I got. ' Drew McIntyre RIPS John Cena & CM Punk 'The Scottish Warrior' then took a sly dig at the Fatu family and quipped, 'In today's day and age, it's lucky I'm as good as I am, or I might get lost in the shuffle because I suggest to a lot of the talent backstage when they're asking for advice, 'Maybe change your last name to Fatu or something.' You might get more opportunities.' There is some truth to what the former WWE Champion said. McIntyre was 'The Chosen One' when he arrived in the promotion back in 2010. However, he had to work hard to earn the main event spot in the independent circuit and TNA as Drew Galloway before making his way back to the company and becoming its top star. On the other hand, members of the Fatu family have had the spotlight since the get-go, with Solo Sikoa feuding with every other top dog in the business, including Cody Rhodes, John Cena, and Roman Reigns. He recently won the United States title, the same as Jacob Fatu, who is also relatively new to the company.
