Suit would halt aid for huge ships
Three environment groups filed suit in US District Court to block subsidies for oil supertankers until an environmental impact statement is issued. They allege the Commerce Department failed to study effects before approving subsidies and warn of risks from spills and new ports. The suit cites the Merchant Marine Act of 1976 and details subsidies already awarded.
