Cyprus-Flagged Tug Raduga Lyon Detained in Liepaja

The tug Raduga Lyon (IMO 8518168), flying the Cyprus flag, has been detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU at the port of Liepaja on 07 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of four deficiencies during the check, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issue is rectified. The Raduga Lyon has a gross tonnage of 408. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when inspectors identify conditions posing a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment. Vessels are typically required to address detainable deficiencies before being cleared to resume operations, with follow-up inspections conducted to confirm compliance. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of Port State Control actions logged in the Paris MoU region for 2026.
