General Cargo Ship VULIN Detained at Port of Goole

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel VULIN (IMO 9015448) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU at the port of Goole on 30 Jul 2026. Inspectors identified 17 deficiencies during the examination, of which two were classified as serious enough to warrant detention of the ship. The vessel, flying the flag of Comoros (KN), has a gross tonnage of 1,662. It is managed under the ISM Code by West Denizcilik Ticaret AS. The Paris MoU covers port state control inspections across Europe and the North Atlantic, aiming to eliminate substandard shipping through a harmonised inspection regime. Detention is imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the identified issues are rectified and verified by the relevant authority. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed. The case adds to the ongoing record of detentions logged under the Paris MoU framework this year.
