General Cargo Ship LANGEOOG Detained in Ploce After Inspection

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LANGEOOG (IMO 9506136) was detained at the port of Ploce following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 14 Aug 2026 under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU). Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies during the examination, of which 4 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flagged in Antigua and Barbuda, has a gross tonnage of 4,591 and is managed under the ISM Code by Sunship Schiffahrtskontor KG. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. Detentions occur when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and verified by the port authority. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of Med MoU enforcement actions against vessels calling at Adriatic ports in 2026.
