The Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) announced today that three
foreign ships were under detention in UK ports during January 2007 after
failing Port State Control (PSC) safety inspection.
Latest monthly figures show that there were three new detentions of
foreign flagged ships in UK ports during January 2007, compared with seven
new detentions during December 2006. No vessels remained in detention from
the previous month. The overall rate of detentions compared with
inspections carried out over the last twelve months is just over 4.5%, a
slight decrease compared with Decembers twelve month rate.
During the month of January 172 Port State Control inspections were
carried out in the UK. For those ships inspected during January a total of
42 vessels had no deficiencies raised against them, 79 had between one and
five deficiencies, 34 had between six and ten deficiencies, 14 had between
eleven and twenty deficiencies and 3 vessels had more than twenty
deficiencies.
One general cargo vessel, one ro-ro cargo vessel and one container ship
were detained in January. One vessel was registered with a flag state
listed on the Paris MOU black list, one was registered with a state on the
white list and one was registered with a state on the grey list.
Of the three vessels detained in January, two were detained with
inoperative quick-closing fuel and lubricating oil valves in the engine
room, and all three were detained with at least one ISM major
non-conformity.
