Houston-based oil and gas company Amplify Energy is suing two major shipping companies...
FILE - Workers in protective suits clean the contaminated beach in Corona Del Mar after an oil spill off the Southern California coast, on Oct. 7, 2021. A Los Angeles federal grand jury on Wednesday, Dec. 15 charged a Houston-based oil company and two subsidiaries for the oil spill off the California coast in October.
The complaint, filed Monday in California District Court, seeks damages from Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. and Capetanissa Maritime Corp., a subsidiary of Greek shipping giant Costamare, accusing their ships of dragging anchors over Amplify’s pipeline during an October storm.Amplify and its subsidiaries, which operate oil rigs and a pipeline off Long Beach, were charged in December by a federal grand jury with a single misdemeanor count of illegally discharging oil.
“By dragging their anchors over our pipeline early last year, these two ships damaged the pipeline and caused the release that occurred last October,” Amplify said in a statement Monday. “Had either of the ships - or the Maritime Exchange - notified Amplify Energy of the anchor strikes, we would have immediately assessed the situation and made any necessary repairs.”
