Oil/Chemical Tanker ALEJANDRO B Detained in La Rochelle

The oil/chemical tanker ALEJANDRO B (IMO 9328285) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at La Rochelle-La Pallice on 12 Aug 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. The Liberian-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 27,916, was found to have three total deficiencies, two of which were classified as detainable. The inspection was carried out under the Paris MoU regime, which oversees port state control across European and North Atlantic waters. The vessel's ISM company is listed as V Ships UK Ltd. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed in the report. Detentions under the Paris MoU are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are rectified. The ALEJANDRO B will not be permitted to resume operations until the detainable deficiencies have been addressed and verified by port state control authorities. Further updates on the vessel's status, including confirmation of release once corrective actions have been completed, are expected to be reflected in subsequent Paris MoU inspection records.
