Criminal facts
Some of the facts charged were revised.
In particular, the phrase “Article 128 subparag. 1 and Article 22 subparag. 1 subparag. 2 of the Marine Environment Management Act” as stated in the Act applicable to the Defendants is related to the case where “waste, harmful liquid substance in packaging and hazardous substance” is discharged. However, miter C, written in the facts charged, does not constitute “oil” and “waste, harmful liquid substance in packaging and hazardous substance” (see Article 2 of the Marine Environment Management Act). As such, Article 127 subparag. 2 and the main sentence of Article 22 subparag. 1 of the Marine Environment Management Act regarding the case where “oil” is discharged, the phrase modified and applied to “oil” as “Article 127 subparag. 2 and Article 22 subparag. 1 of the Marine Environment Management Act.”
No one shall discharge pollutants from a ship into the sea.
1. Defendant A is the captain who is a general manager for the operation and safety management of the oil tanker “C” (ship number D) with a gross tonnage of 522 tons.
