Federal prosecutors charged Singapore-based Synergy Marine Pte Ltd and Chennai-based Synergy Maritime Pte Ltd along with Indian national Radhakrishnan Karthik Nair a 47-year-old technical superintendent for both companies.

They face conspiracy, willfully failing to immediately inform the U.S. Coast Guard of a known hazardous condition, obstruction of an agency proceeding and false statements.
