Tanker suspected off illegal pollution of the Northsea
The "Bomar Jupiter" was suspected to have discharged around 410,000 liters tank cleaning water illegally into the North Sea. The Hamburg harbor police launched an investigation for pollution after an airplane of the Dutch Coast Guard watched the ship on the way to Hamburg during the disposal. After the ship docked at warehouse 69/70 in the Kuhwerder Port of Hamburg on Oct 27, 2015, officials of the Water Police boarded the "Bomar Jupiter" and launched procedures against the 38-year-old captain and his 40-year-old first officer on suspicion of water pollution. The tanker was seized for the investigations.

Captain sentenced to three years of imprisonment in a show trial
The West African republic of São Tomé e Príncipe has wrongfully confiscated two ships chartered by the Swedish oil company Stena Oil (Marida Melissa and Duzgit Integrity) , including the cargo. The captains have been severely sentenced to three years of imprisonment and charged with "smuggling" in a show trial. A fine of 5 million EUR has been imposed, and the vessels and cargo have been confiscated by the state of São Tomé. It is Stena Oil's clear and firm position that the allegations are entirely unfounded. Neither the ship owners nor Stena Oil have been given the opportunity by any court to clear the false allegations against them. The São Tomé court has refused to consider evidence that would clearly prove the innocence of all the accused parties, including the captains who have now been imprisoned. After nearly four months, the situation remains unresolved and has thus far cost Stena Oil and the owners of the ships more than 3 million USD. For nearly four months, the ships and their cargo have been wrongfully detained by the São Tomé authorities. The captains have been imprisoned for a crime they did not commit. They are the victims of an unscrupulous government trying to enrich themselves by confiscating assets from foreign businesses.
