Water Protection Police initiates investigation on suspicion of illegal wastewater disposal

On Monday (13.01.2025), officers from the Flensburg Water Police Station inspected a tugboat flying the Cypriot flag and loaded with coal. During the inspection, the officers identified significant deficiencies in the ship's onboard wastewater treatment plant.
The responsible technical officer is now accused of illegally discharging inadequately treated wastewater into the Baltic Sea. The captain was also found to have deficiencies in the documentation or management of some of his logbooks. To secure the impending criminal or fine proceedings, a security deposit of approximately 1600 euros was retained from both. The technical authority, which was subsequently involved, temporarily prohibited further travel until the plant was restored to a functional state and approved after inspection. The investigation is ongoing.
