The Owners of the blazed crude oil tanker ‘MT New Diamond’ vessel had paid a total payment of Rs.442 million in compensation to Sri Lanka authorities.
Coordinating Officer to the Attorney General State Counsel Nishara Jayaratne told the news media that this payment was in relation only to the cost incurred by government stakeholders in extinguishing the fire that broke out on the vessel.
She highlighted that the received Rs.442 million claim does not include the marine pollution caused by the oil spill from the vessel.
