18 Jun 2026 Siliziumkarbid-Hersteller (anonymisiert)Silicon carbide producer: NOK 18m over unrepresentative emission measurements NorwayEmissions and permits €1.62m

Økokrim (Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) issued an industrial company producing silicon carbide with a penalty notice of NOK 18,000,000 for breaches of the Pollution Control Act (forurensningsloven) and for giving incorrect information to Miljødirektoratet (Norwegian Environment Agency). In Økokrim's view, the air emission measurements in 2021 were not representative because, among other things, production was lower during the measurement campaigns; this created a risk that considerably more of the carcinogenic benzo[a]pyrene was emitted than permitted. The company has accepted the penalty notice.

What organisations can take from it

Self-monitoring of emissions must reflect normal operations – anyone who embellishes measurements by throttling production risks heavy corporate penalties.

10 Jun 2024 a Norwegian ship management companyNorwegian ship management company: NOK 8m for scrapping two tankers in India NorwayWaste and hazardous substancesanonymised €694,927

Økokrim (Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) issued a Norwegian ship management company with a penalty notice of NOK 8,000,000 for breaching the Pollution Control Act (forurensningsloven), because two shuttle tankers used in the North Sea left for Asia in 2018 and were broken up on the beach at Alang, India, between 2018 and 2020 ('beaching'). According to Økokrim, the company was familiar with the rules and chose scrapping in India partly for economic reasons. Having initially not accepted the penalty notice, the company accepted it before the main hearing scheduled for January 2025 without admitting guilt; an accepted penalty notice has the effect of a judgment.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone handing over end-of-life vessels for scrapping must ensure recycling at approved yards in line with EU rules; the cost advantages of beaching do not justify circumventing them.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after a case is published, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
