Bay Bridge Oil Spill Lawsuit

Hudson Marine Management Services pays city of San Francisco $2 million settlement to help with cleanup costs.

Bay Bridge Oil Spill

San Francisco, CA: (Mar-02-08) The city of San Francisco brought charges against Hudson Marine Management Services of Pennsauken, NJ, acting on behalf of the ship's Hong Kong-based owner, Regal Stone Ltd., alleging that it was owed money to cover some cleanup costs after a November 2007 oil spill. Records show that thousands of birds died, beaches were closed, and the crabbing season was delayed after the 900-foot Cosco Busan sideswiped the Bay Bridge. The crash cut a gash in the hull, and 54,000 gallons of oil were spilled.

In a recent development in the case, company spokespersons stated that the parties had agreed to enter into a settlement agreement, in which San Francisco will receive $2 million. City lawyers said that the agreement was an initial payment to cover some cleanup costs after the November crash, not a final settlement. The agreement was reached with Hudson Marine Management Services of Pennsauken, NJ, acting on behalf of the cargo ship's Hong Kong-based owner, Regal Stone Ltd.
