General Cargo Ship Langeoog Detained in Ploce

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LANGEOOG (IMO 9506136) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 14 Aug 2026 at the port of Ploce, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies during the examination, of which 4 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The ship, flagged in Antigua and Barbuda, has a gross tonnage of 4,591 and is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by Sunship Schiffahrtskontor KG. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew or environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are resolved and verified by the relevant authority. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels held under the Med MoU in 2026, as regional authorities continue to monitor compliance among ships calling at Adriatic and Mediterranean ports.
