Norwegian Bulk Carrier LIVITA Detained in Banten

The Norwegian bulk carrier LIVITA (IMO 9801299) was detained in the port of Banten following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 30 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 35,832 and a deadweight of 63,532, was found to have a total of 11 deficiencies, five of which were deemed detainable. The inspection was carried out under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework. LIVITA is operated by Ugland Marine Services AS, which is responsible for the ship's International Safety Management (ISM) compliance. The detention indicates serious non-compliance issues that must be rectified before the vessel is allowed to resume operations. Port State Control inspections are routine checks to ensure vessels meet international safety, security, and environmental standards. Detentions serve as enforcement measures to address critical deficiencies and protect maritime safety. The LIVITA’s detention underscores the importance of maintaining stringent safety standards in the bulk carrier sector.
