DURING February, there were five new detentions of a foreign flagged vessel in a UK port, reports Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) publishes details of the foreign flagged vessels detained in UK ports each month.
The UK is part of a regional agreement on port state control, referred to as the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MOU).
This allows the ships with a high-risk rating and poor detention records to be targeted for future inspection.
Inspections of foreign flagged ships in UK ports are undertaken by surveyors from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
When a ship is not in obedience to applicable convention requirements, a deficiency may be raised.
