General Cargo Vessel EMERALD BAY Detained in Cagliari

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel EMERALD BAY (IMO 9385075) was detained in the port of Cagliari following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 24 Jul 2026. The vessel, flagged in IM and with a gross tonnage of 20,242, was found to have a total of nine deficiencies, four of which were considered detainable. The inspection was carried out under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (Paris MoU) regime. The vessel is managed by ISM company Pioneer Marine Hellas SA. The nature of the detainable deficiencies was not specified, but their presence led to the immediate detention of the vessel to ensure compliance with international maritime safety and environmental standards. Detention under Paris MoU indicates significant non-compliance issues that must be rectified before the vessel can resume operations. This action underscores the ongoing efforts by port authorities to enforce maritime regulations and maintain safety at sea.
