Major Breach of Ballast Water Convention Uncovered in Bremerhaven
A serious infraction of the Ballast Water Convention regulations was identified during a routine inspection of the US flagged vehicle carrier 'Arc Independence' on November 26, 2024, in Bremerhaven. The Bremen water police took swift action, penalizing the violation and imposing security deposits. This incident traces back to November 11, when the vessel discharged approximately 800 tons of untreated ballast water into the North Sea while operating in German territorial waters near the island of Borkum. As a result of this breach, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency has mandated security deposits amounting to 52,000 Euros against both the captain and the ship's first nautical officer. These deposits were collected on November 26.
