American Bureau of Shipping and the Prestige Oil Spill Disaster

"ABS [American Bureau of Shipping] is one of the world's largest classification societies -- firms that inspect ships to ensure they meet safety standards. ABS approved the Prestige shortly before it sank, and critics say the inspection was deeply flawed." - excerpt from HoustonPress.com article at http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/current/feature.html/1/index.html
