Evidence a Greek tanker caused spill? 'None whatsoever'

Greek authorities have found no evidence suggesting a ship under the country's jurisdiction was the cause of an oil spill in Brazil, a top government official told TradeWinds.

The Piraeus-based shipping ministry asked four major companies to provide comprehensive records of five Greek-flagged tankers, which Brazilian authorities suspected of spilling more than 4,000 tonnes of crude washing up on the country's northeastern coast.
