Ship detained due to overloading

In the morning of Jan 31, 2018, at 6.05 a.m. officers of the water police Brunsbüttel found that the "Reymar" apparently was lying too deep in the water, and carried out a freeboard control. The suspicion was confirmed, and the trade association for transport and traffic management issued a sailing ban. The draught was exceeded by eleven centimeters which corresponded to an overload of about 122 metric tons. The ship was enroute from Bilbao to Tornio with a cargo of 5.000 tons lime stone. An administrative offense notification was made against the captain and he had to pay a safety fine. The ship was released again at 7.45 p.m. and headed to Kiel, where it berthed in the East Shore Port on Feb 1 at 2.15 a.m. It sailed again on Feb 2 at 5.30 p.m. after the draught was corrected, and resumed the voyage to Tornio, ETA Feb 6, 5 p.m.
