What Crew Members Say About Fensfjord

On February 28, 2018, a routine inspection by the water police at the Lübeck-Siems quay revealed significant deficiencies aboard the vessel 'Fensfjord'. Authorities discovered that the ship's wastewater treatment plant was not functioning effectively, raising immediate concerns regarding its compliance with marine environmental protection regulations. The documentation related to the treatment of ballast water was scrutinized, revealing discrepancies that further compounded the suspicion of violations. This malfunction prompted fears that untreated wastewater may have been discharged directly into the sea. As a result of this apparent breach of ecological legislation, an immediate cash security deposit of €800 was required. Following the incident, the 'Fensfjord' set sail from Lübeck on March 1, continuing its journey to Sandnes.
