The ship 'Bonay', which arrived in Rostock from Vierow on January 27, 2015, faced serious repercussions following a routine inspection by water police on January 28. Authorities discovered a range of critical safety issues on board, including a non-operational Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). Additionally, alarm systems meant to detect water ingress and fire had been disabled by the crew, raising grave concerns about the vessel's safety protocols. The crew also reported ongoing issues with water ingress at the rudder gear, further compounding the situation. As a result, on January 29, the competent transport and traffic authorities took decisive action by arresting the 'Bonay' for its numerous safety deficiencies.
