FDA FINN Detained in Djupivogur for Deficiencies

The general cargo vessel FDA FINN (IMO 9925693), flagged in Norway, was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Djupivogur on 08 Jul 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), identified one deficiency that was considered detainable. With a gross tonnage of 276, the FDA FINN is classified as a general cargo/multipurpose ship. The detention indicates that the deficiency posed a significant risk to safety or environmental standards, necessitating corrective action before the vessel can resume operations. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MOU aim to ensure that foreign ships visiting member ports comply with international regulations concerning safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare. Detentions are enforced when deficiencies are severe enough to warrant immediate attention. The FDA FINN remains detained in Djupivogur pending rectification of the identified issue, highlighting the ongoing enforcement efforts to maintain maritime safety and regulatory compliance in the region.
