27 Aug 2025 V.Ships Norway A.S.V.Ships Norway: 2 million USD fine for oil pollution and falsified oil record books €1.73m
On board the tanker M/T Swift Winchester, a hose connected the incinerator's waste oil tank to the sewage tank from February to August 2022, so that oily waste bypassed the pollution prevention equipment and went into the sea; in August 2022, an oily water separator filter was also hosed down with degreaser on deck and the oily mixture ran overboard. The vessel called at Baton Rouge and Port Arthur with a knowingly falsified oil record book. The ship management company pleaded guilty and is paying a fine of 2 million USD.
When a crew member reports misconduct to management, the company must intervene immediately; otherwise it is liable for the continued pollution.
