Greece’s Efploia Shipping Co SA has been hit with criminal pollution charges in Baltimore, Maryland, along with the ship’s chief engineer, Andreas Konstantinidis.

The charges stem from a February inspection of the 57,000-dwt Aquarosa (built 2010).

Not charged in the twin criminal cases is the owner of the ship, Falcon Maritime, the Danish company headed by former employees of collapsed Atlas Shipping that controls several other former Atlas assets.
