Fish Factory Vessel Ronja Supporter Detained in Paris MoU Inspection

The Norwegian-flagged fish factory vessel Ronja Supporter (IMO 9775359) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 07 Aug 2026 at the port of Fairlie. Inspectors identified 13 deficiencies on board, of which three were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The 1,753 gross tonnage vessel is managed by ISM company Solvtrans Management AS. Detentions under the Paris MoU are imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety, health of those on board, or the environment, or when they indicate the vessel is not seaworthy to a level that warrants restricting its operations until corrective action is taken. The Paris MoU, one of several regional port state control regimes worldwide, conducts inspections across ports in Europe and the North Atlantic to verify compliance with international maritime safety, security and environmental conventions. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies found or the timeline for the vessel's release. The vessel will remain under detention until the flag state and classification society confirm that all detainable deficiencies have been addressed and the ship meets the required safety standards.
