They should all be seized. The one I worked on had the mpg of 100 cars. The pollution was many times worse than that because marine diesel emissions are off the scale compared to vehicle fuels. We crossed the Atlantic to get the boat painted a different colour. The owner wasn't even aboard. The diesel bill was $250,000+ each way. When we filled up in Miami we didn't do the usual thing of going to a pump in a harbour, we got 18 road tankers to drive to us. Probably did it so the captain could boast to the owner that he'd saved a couple of bucks.
