TAIPEI/CAIRO -- The Taiwanese operator of the giant cargo ship that blocked traffic in the Suez Canal told Nikkei on Thursday that the company is not liable for any financial damages from the incident.
"Our company is not responsible in the least," said Eric Hsieh, president of Evergreen Marine. He pinned responsibility for compensation on the ship's Japanese owner, Shoei Kisen. Evergreen Marine chartered the vessel.
