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.
