Third Mate Gregory Cousin was in command of the wheel house and Able Seaman Roger Kagan was at the helm when the ship struck Bligh Reef at 12:04 AM on 24 March 1989.
Cousin appeared in court but was cleared of charges.
Captain Hazelwood was acquitted of all felony charges but was convicted of misdmeanor negligent discharge of oil and was fined 50,000 dollars and sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service. He continues to hold his master's license and works as a Maritime Consultant.

∙ 7y agoThe captain was meant to be 'Captain Hazelwood', however, he got drunk at a club call the 'Pipeline Club'. therefore, he put a inexperienced third mate in charge. about two hours later, the ship reached some sea coral and crashed as the sea was shallow at this point. the force was so big that the coral ripped open the oil tanker and about 11million gallons of oil was leaked out into the sea. You could blame it on Exxon, and the captain.

Who is responsible for the oil spil?
BP, formerly known as British Petroleum is ultimately responsible for the spill. There is however, plenty of blame to go around. Trans Ocean operated the rig, Halliburton put in the concrete plugs, and the Interior Department was totally lax about standards of safety relying on the industry to police itself. (And we saw how well that worked with Wall St. and large banks!)
