Tanker seized due to waste dump
Port authorities have seized the "Sea Challenger" at Walvis Bay on Feb 4, 2016. They traced dumped waste to the tanker because some of the plastic bottles found in recreational areas in Namibian waters had the vessel’s labels. When the waste was found, the "Sea Challenger" had already offloaded and left the port and the authorities had to call the crew back. While the crew was denying dumping waste, consultations were underway between Namibia and Sturrock Grindrod, the "Sea Challenger"’s agent. If the crew is found guilty, they will have to pay a fine between 12, 900 (786 U.S dollars) and 130, 000 Namibian dollars (8,176 U.S dollars).
