From China Daily Online:
The Dalian Municipal Marine Court has received 190-plus lawsuits to date from fisheries against a Portuguese oil tanker, which struck a rock 4.2 sea miles off Dalian Port on April 4 and spewed crude oil into local waters, sources from the court said yesterday.
Among them, around 100 of the fisheries are demanding compensation from the tanker. Whether the accident poses a serious threat to the environment is still unclear, Li Weisheng, director of the accident assessment centre under the Maritime Court, told China Daily.
