EU: 'Rust Bucket' Tankers Blacklisted

Laptop Battery BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The European Commission Tuesday published a list of tankers to be banned from EU waters after an aging vessel sunk off northwest Spain, dumping thousands of tons of oil into the Atlantic Ocean.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad Responding to mounting public anger over Europe's second major oil slick in three years, the commission also urged EU governments to outlaw the transport of heavy fuel oil in vulnerable single-hull tankers.

    1. The default.aspx page is presented to the user. It contains a form with a number of pieces of functionality.
    2. The user creates a bucket using the first set of controls on the sample page. This bucket can be used to store objects also known as files.
    3. The user's request is forwarded onto the Amazon S3 server as a SOAP request. A bucket is created on Amazon.
    4. The user locates a file on a local computer and clicks Submit. The file is converted into a stream and uploaded to the sample application's Web server.
    5. The Web server then takes this stream and passes it on to the Amazon S3 server using SOAP over HTTP. The Amazon S3 server stores this stream as a file in its secure storage. The file is now associated with the bucket created in Step 1.

Desktop Computer EU governments adopted a raft of stringent maritime safety rules after the Erika oil tanker devastated large swathes of the French coast in 1999. The measures, which are due to come into effect in mid-2003, envisage stepping up the control of ships entering EU waters, bringing forward the international phase-out of single-hull tankers from 2026 to 2015 and setting up a European Maritime Safety Agency.

Notebooks De Palacio urged the European Union to speed up implementation of the so-called Erika I and II packages and to introduce new legislation aimed at making polluters pay for their negligence.

Lenovo At a meeting in Denmark, next week, the leaders of France, Spain and Portugal -- the three countries most affected by the Prestige disaster -- are expected to urge EU heads of state to support the EC's call to advance the ban on single-hull tankers.

Hard Drive De Palacio also attacked the International Maritime Organization, the body that governs the world's oceans.

Travelstar Calling for a "radical overhaul" of global shipping rules, the former Spanish minister said, "International maritime law is based on principles that were fine in the 18th and 19th century but they are no longer valid."

Gateway At the next IMO meeting in May 2003, the EC will press members to set up a $1 billion fund to compensate for damage resulting from major oil spills, such as the Nov. 19 sinking of the Prestige, a single-hulled tanker that broke in two about a week earlier, causing oil o wash ashore over much of northwestern Spain.

Laptop Parts As European states squabble over who was to blame for the Prestige spill, which has blackened more than 160 beaches and devastated the fishing industry in Galicia, the commission Tuesday released a league table of ship inspections by the European Union.

Software EU laws due to come into effect next year require member states to check a quarter of all ships for seaworthiness. Most meet this target. However, the figures show that France only inspects one out of every 10 ships entering its waters.

Hard Drives The EC's statistics will be a source of embarrassment for French President Jacques Chirac, who last week railed against the "inability of those in charge, politically, nationally and particularly at European level," to prevent the Prestige slick.
