River cruise ship arrested for discharge of faeces
The "Serenade II" had to interrupt its voyage to Regensburg in Nuremberg with 120 passengers and 30 crew members on May 10, 2017. The ship was detained because faeces were discharged unfiltered into the Main-Danube Canal. The Nuremberg water police made the discovery during a routine check at the Europa Quay in the port. Inestigations showed that the sewage treatment plant on board was defective. Fecal traces were found in the water of the Canal. As long as the sewage treatment plant on board has not been repaired, the ship remained sidelined. The police blamed the engineer (35) and captain (52) for the pollution. The prosecutor ordered criminal proceedings against both for water pollution.
