Working Conditions Aboard the Hadeland

On July 10, 2025, the Rostock Water Police Inspectorate (WSPI) carried out an inspection of the vessel 'Hadeland', which has been docked at Rostock's fishing port since July 6. Investigators found that the disinfectant used in the ship's wastewater treatment plant was non-compliant with MARPOL regulations. During its time in port, an estimated 3 m³ of untreated ship wastewater was released into the local waters through the faulty treatment system. As a result, criminal proceedings have been initiated against the Chief Engineer responsible for the operation. The Rostock District Court has mandated a security deposit of €3,000 from the ship's management. As of July 14, the 'Hadeland' remained docked in the port as legal actions unfold.

On the evening of August 3, 2019, the vessel 'Hadeland' encountered a troubling incident as it set sail from the port of Riga at approximately 8 p.m. During its departure, the ship ran aground not once, but twice. After the initial grounding, the crew managed to refloat the vessel by its own means; however, just moments after resuming its journey, 'Hadeland' struck the ground again. Authorities from the Coast Guard boarded the ship and discovered that the master of the vessel was under the influence of alcohol. Consequently, 'Hadeland' was moored at the outer anchorage to facilitate a thorough investigation into the occurrences. Following the completion of the investigations, the ship was cleared to continue its voyage, with an estimated time of arrival (ETA) at Immingham set for 5 p.m. on August 7.

On December 27, 2015, a fire erupted on the vessel 'NBP Commander,' which was docked at the bustling port of Koper. Prompt action was taken as two teams of firefighters arrived on the scene, equipped with a fire truck, to combat the blaze. Their swift response played a crucial role in managing the situation and ensuring safety within the port area.
