The Cosco Busan spilled 58,000 gallons into the Bay on Nov. 7 after sideswiping the Bay Bridge on a foggy morning. The spill fouled 40 miles of shoreline and killed more than 2,000 birds, caused a shake-up in Coast Guard incident commanders and brought complaints from Congress.

[One] important service offered by Cosco is the support to docked-ship's crew, by representing companies of other localities together with the local port authorities. This support many times may be vital for the success of the whole transport operation, for this reason Cosco's own professionals, which are experienced and very well trained for the service, perform it.

"When they paid the last civil penalties, Cosco told us they were committed to reporting safety issues," says Ann Brown, safety agency head. "They already knew of injuries on products they weren't reporting."

Over the years, Cosco has gradually expanded its range of products and services. Initially it preferred to sell only boxed products that could be dispensed by simply tearing the shrinkwrap off a pallet. It now sells many other products that are more difficult to handle, such as fresh produce, meat, dairy, seafood, fresh baked goods, flowers, clothing, books, software, home electronics, jewelry, art, hot tubs, and furniture. Many stores have tire garages, pharmacies, hearing aid centers, optometrists, photo processors, and gas stations.
