Zim shipping company fined NIS 300,000 for Haifa Bay fuel leak

The Zim shipping company is being fined NIS 300,000 (some $86,000) for polluting Haifa’s bay by allowing oil to leak into its waters.

The fine follows an indictment against the company for an August 2015 incident during which some 8-10 tons of fuel leaked from improperly sealed pipes aboard one of the company’s ships, the Zim Vancouver, as it was fueling at Haifa Port.
