The captain and two crew members on the M/V Katerina, a 16,320-ton cargo ship that arrived at the Port of Long Beach on September 10, were arrested this morning on federal pollution charges for allegedly dumping oil-contaminated waters into the Pacific Ocean. A criminal complaint filed yesterday evening in United States District Court in Los Angeles specifically charges the trio with attempting to conceal the water pollution by maintaining log books that failed to note the tainted discharges. • Ioannis G. • Edgardo A. • Rolan P. Sullesta, 42, of the Philippines, the second engineer on the ship. All three defendants are scheduled to make their initial court appearances this afternoon in federal court in downtown Los Angeles.
