Samsung Heavy requests limit on oil spill compensation
SEOUL, Dec. 22 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Heavy Industries Co. has requested a Seoul court to place a ceiling on the amount of compensation that may be levied in a civil suit launched by victims of an oil spill, court officials said Monday.
On Dec. 7, 2007, some 12,000 tons of crude oil spilled into the seas off of Taean following a collision between an oil tanker owned by the Hong Kong-registered Hebei Spirit Shipping Co. and a barge owned by Samsung Heavy, blackening beaches and fish farms along the west coast.
