Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has paid fines for the second time this year for flouting California’s strict environmental regulations

Late last week the Swiss-based liner paid $630,625 in penalties to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for violating the Ocean-Going Vessel At-Berth regulation.

The violations were discovered during a routine audit of the company’s 2014 visits to the Port of Oakland and the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
