I like the language of the Department of Justice of the United States of America, it makes it clear what to avoid.
In a recent press release they state that "a federal grand jury has indicted two European shipping corporations this week for environmental crimes in the Eastern District of Texas". The two companies have been indicted and charged with "conspiring to violate environmental laws"...
The allegations are that crew members of the ship "failed to maintain an Oil Record Book as required by federal law" from March 2008 through August 2009.
As I said before, the United States will prosecute the crew and the company when an ORB with fraudulent entries is presented to their port state control officer. The criminal act is presenting the ORB with the fraudulent entries, not pollution itself.
