Tanzania-Flagged Cargo Ship ANUBIS Detained in Leixoes

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ANUBIS (IMO 9226695) was detained at the Portuguese port of Leixoes following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 29 Jul 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified 22 deficiencies during the inspection, of which nine were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The ANUBIS, flagged in Tanzania, has a gross tonnage of 6,272 and is managed under the ISM Code by Set Shipmanagement Ltd. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, and the ship is not permitted to sail until the detainable deficiencies are addressed and verified by port state control officers. The number of detainable findings recorded aboard the ANUBIS points to significant shortcomings identified across multiple areas of the vessel's condition or operation. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed.
