General Cargo Ship NINA Detained in Volos, Greece

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel NINA (IMO 9277278) has been detained by Port State Control authorities in Volos, Greece, following an inspection carried out on 11 Aug 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of three deficiencies aboard the vessel, all three of which were classed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The NINA is a Cyprus-flagged vessel with a gross tonnage of 3,289, and is managed under the ISM Code by Hermann Lohmann Schiffahrts. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when deficiencies found during an inspection are serious enough to pose risks to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The Paris MoU covers port state control inspections across Europe and the North Atlantic, targeting substandard shipping through a risk-based inspection regime. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The vessel will remain in Volos until the identified issues are resolved and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, allowing port state control to lift the detention order.
