Bulk Carrier BULK PRUDENCE Detained Under Paris MoU

The bulk carrier BULK PRUDENCE (IMO 9713478) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Aug 2026 at the port of Relance, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of eight deficiencies, one of which was assessed as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port pending rectification. The ship, flying the flag of Liberia, has a gross tonnage of 34,810 and is classified as a bulk carrier. Its ISM Company is listed as Seamar Management SA, which bears responsibility for the vessel's safety management system under the International Safety Management Code. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors find 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 corrected and verified. The Paris MoU coordinates inspection efforts among maritime authorities in Europe and the North Atlantic to ensure compliance with international safety, pollution prevention, and labour conventions. No further details regarding the nature of the detainable deficiency or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. Authorities typically require confirmation that all outstanding deficiencies have been addressed before a detained vessel is permitted to resume operations.
