San Francisco Chronicle – April 22 A federal jury has convicted a supervising tanker crew member of ordering the illegal dumping of oily bilge water into Bay Area waters in 2019. The defendant was first engineer of the Zao Galaxy, a 16,000-ton oil tanker that docked at the Port of Richmond in 2019. Tankers generate bilge water while at sea and are required to remove most of the oil before discharging the remaining fluid into ocean waters. Prosecutors said the defendant ordered crew members to bypass the ship’s oil waste separator and dump oily bilge water from the tanker’s engine room. The ship’s operator, Unix Line PTE of Singapore, pleaded guilty to a related charge in the case last year, and was fined $1.65 million.
