Portuguese-Flagged Yacht MRS GREY Detained in Eivissa

The commercial yacht MRS GREY (IMO 8674338), flying the flag of Portugal, was detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU at the port of Eivissa on 24 Aug 2026. Inspectors identified a total of eight deficiencies during the examination, of which seven were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are addressed. The 265 gross tonnage yacht will remain under detention until the outstanding deficiencies are rectified and verified by port state control officers. The Paris MoU coordinates port state control inspections across a network of European and North Atlantic ports, targeting vessels for compliance with international safety, environmental and labour standards. Detentions of this nature are recorded to monitor vessel and flag state performance, and repeated deficiencies can affect a ship's risk profile in future inspection targeting. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release date have been disclosed. Further updates are expected once the detention is lifted.
