On July 16, 2018, the water police conducted a routine inspection of the vessel 'Kilstraum' at the Covestro loading terminal in the Brunsbüttel canal port. During this examination, authorities uncovered several maintenance issues. Notably, the ship's wastewater treatment facility was malfunctioning due to inadequate upkeep, resulting in the discharge of insufficiently disinfected wastewater into German waters. As a consequence, the first engineer on board was fined a security amount of €800 and is now under investigation. After addressing the situation, the 'Kilstraum' departed from the port at 4:20 PM, setting its course for Bützfleth, where it docked at 6:00 PM before proceeding towards Terneuzen, with an estimated time of arrival on July 18.
