Punish and Compensate

This article is about a supertanker named Exxon Valdez.

Long time ago, there was this boat carrying millions of liters of liquid fuel. It hit some corals grounding the boat and spilling this nasty fuel all around affecting thousands of their livelihood.

The company have been hailed to court and the US Supreme Court is now deliberating or has deliberated on the punitive and compensatory damages.

This article can support what has happened to MV Princess of the Stars.

Some of you who might be interested in law may find this article helpful.
