Unit 1 Exercise: The Spanish Oil Spill Disaster: A Globalization Nightmare 1) The countries that were involved in this issue, and the role that each of them played is as follows: Spain- Spain was where this disaster first started. The Prestige oil tanker sprung its leak in Spanish waters. The Spanish government had already known about the leak but did not want to bring the ship to a port. This is because they did not want to pollute the shores. Instead they had ordered the Dutch salvage company to take the ship far off to sea away from Spanish shores. The Prestige broke apart and sank in the Atlantic, about 150 miles off the shore of northwestern Spain. Spain’s fishing industry was devastated. Spain has arrested the captain of the ship and continues to support cleanups of the shores and skimming of the sea. Liberia- The prestige was owned by a Liberian company. Bahamas- The Bahamas is where the Prestige is registered Britain- Members of the EU who want to get tougher on shipping regulations. They say the ship was supposed to drop by Gibraltar for inspection but the Prestige skipped it. Singapore- Where the cargo was headed. Belgium- A Dutch salvage company tried to save the ship. They were also ordered by Spain to take the ship far out to sea. Greece- The Prestige was operated by a Greek management firm. The company rejects the claim that the ship was badly maintained, saying it was up to date on inspections.
