After having been renovated at Aalborg Shipyard, the ship went for a trial sail but began to take in water. Later, a piece of wood was found to have been squeezed into the valves, which allowed the water to flow freely to the machine cargo. In addition, another valve had malfunctioned, so water also ran to the boiler room. There was a lot of doubt about whether it was sabotage or neglect.
