General Cargo Ship Icelandica Hav Detained in UK Port

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel Icelandica Hav (IMO 8128884) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Grove Wharfs, Scunthorpe, on 29 Jul 2026, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 32 deficiencies during the check, of which seven were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flying the flag of the Bahamas, has a gross tonnage of 1,513. The Icelandica Hav is managed under the ISM Code by HAV SHIP MANAGEMENT AS. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been released. The case adds to the record of vessels held under the Paris MoU framework, which covers port state inspections across Europe and the North Atlantic to enforce international maritime safety and environmental standards.
