Globalization

Clear-cut Lines of Authority and Responsibility, #1

In February, 1996, an oil tanker, the Sea Empress, spilled 70,000 tons of crude oil into the sea off the coast of Wales, fouling sea, shore, and wildlife.

Do you also remember the ship was:

built in Spain,
owned by a Norwegian,
registered in Liberia,
managed from offices in Glasgow, Scotland.
The crew was Russian,
the cargo was American?

Now, quickly, please, can you determine who should be held accountable for that oil spill?
