Thailand’s Pollution Control Department (PCD) has filed its second complaint with Map Ta Phut police, in the eastern province of Rayong, against those responsible for the marine oil spill in seas off the province on February 10th, the second one this year.

 

PCD Director-General Attapol Charoenchansa said he has assigned the director of legal affairs division, and the director of the Chon Buri-based Environment Office, to file a complaint with the police, so that appropriate legal action can be taken against the culprits.

 

He said that the second incident, in which about 5,000 litres of crude oil still in the damaged flexible pipeline at the mooring platform of Star Petroleum Refining (SPRC) leaked into the sea, may harm the environment and marine species in the area.
