Sunken tanker sparks EU push for safer ships and tougher checks
EU officials on Tuesday urged member states to strictly enforce new single hull ship rules and inspect vessels reaching European ports. Spain reported no inspection since 1999 while Universe Maritime claimed a May check. The sunken tanker threatens NW Spain with a fuel oil spill endangering a $330 million seafood industry and tens of thousands of jobs. Greenpeace and ADENA warned of ongoing risk and difficult cleanups as Portugal and Galicia face oil slicks and wildlife casualties.
