Norway police charge ship captain after fuel spill

OSLO (Reuters) – Norwegian police on Monday charged the Chinese captain of a dry bulk vessel for not warning the coastal authorities that his ship was in danger during a storm last week that led to one of Norway’s biggest fuel spills.

The Chinese-owned “Full City” ship has remained grounded near Langesund since early Friday morning, when it was blown off course during a heavy storm and started leaking fuel.
