Livestock Carrier MARIONA Detained After Paris MoU Inspection

The livestock carrier MARIONA (IMO 7113624) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 25 Sep 2026 at the port of Rasa. Inspectors recorded a total of eight deficiencies, four of which were classified as detainable, leading to the vessel being held in port. MARIONA is a Comoros-flagged (KM) livestock carrier with a gross tonnage of 2,181. The ship is managed by Limano Marine Services Ltd under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed. Port State Control inspections under regional agreements such as the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and verified by port authorities. The vessel will remain detained at Rasa until the outstanding deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of inspectors and clearance to depart is granted.
