General Cargo Ship MOLPADIA Detained in Ravenna

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel MOLPADIA (IMO 9633850) has been detained at the Italian port of Ravenna following a Port State Control inspection carried out on 04 Aug 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified 13 deficiencies during the check, six of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The MOLPADIA, flagged in Antigua and Barbuda, has a gross tonnage of 4,559 and is managed under the ISM Code by Woodcastle Shipping Co. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign ships calling at member ports comply with international safety, security and environmental standards. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the flag state or classification society confirms the defects have been addressed. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies found aboard the MOLPADIA or a timeline for its release from detention.
