Offence against MARPOL convention found during inspection

On April 17, 2025, the 'Killu', which had berthed in the port of Stralsund en route from Erith the previous day, was subjected to an inspection by officers of the Stralsund Water Police Inspectorate, during which the provisions of the annexes to the MARPOL Convention were also reviewed. The officers discovered that entries for manual pumping operations totaling 2.2 m³ of sludge had not been recorded in the oil logbook. For this reason, an administrative offense report was filed. The responsible Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency ordered a security deposit of approximately €1,160. The officers also identified a violation of the obligation to retain ballast water logbooks. This administrative offense was also punished with a warning fine against the person responsible. The ship remained stationary in port as of April 23.
