General Cargo Ship LINA F Detained at Sohar Port

The general cargo/multi-purpose vessel LINA F (IMO 9167631), flagged in Comoros, has been detained by Port State Control authorities under the Indian Ocean MoU following an inspection at the port of Sohar on 27 Jul 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 30 deficiencies during the examination, of which one was classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. Port State Control detentions are typically imposed when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is barred from departing until the underlying issues are addressed and verified by inspectors. The LINA F is managed under the International Safety Management Code by LEENA SHIPPING CO SA. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the detainable deficiency or the timeline for the vessel's release. The Indian Ocean MoU is one of several regional agreements that coordinate port state control inspections to ensure compliance with international maritime safety, labour, and environmental standards. Detentions such as this one are recorded and published as part of routine transparency measures within the framework, allowing shipowners, charterers, and regulators to track the safety performance of individual vessels and their managing companies over time.
