Norwegian Cargo Ship FEED HELGELAND Detained in Germany

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel FEED HELGELAND was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 27 Aug 2026 at the port of Brake, Germany, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified 29 deficiencies during the check, of which nine were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flying the Norwegian flag, has a gross tonnage of 2,829 and carries IMO number 9163635. The vessel's ISM Company is listed as Ulvan Personal AS. 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, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and verified by the relevant authority. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Paris MoU, which monitors compliance with international maritime safety and environmental standards across European and North Atlantic ports.
