Portuguese-Flagged Oil Tanker SWAN BALTIC Detained in Hull

The oil/chemical tanker SWAN BALTIC (IMO 9466910) has been detained by port state control authorities following an inspection at Hull under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, conducted on 24 Sep 2026, identified 28 deficiencies in total, six of which were classified as detainable. The vessel, flagged in Portugal, has a gross tonnage of 5,206 and is managed under the ISM Code by Ernst Jacob GmbH & Co KG. Paris MoU inspections assess compliance with international safety, environmental and crew welfare standards, and detention is imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the environment if it were to continue operating. The SWAN BALTIC will remain under detention at Hull until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of inspectors and the vessel is cleared to resume operations. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed. Port state control inspections such as this form part of ongoing international efforts to enforce maritime safety and pollution prevention standards among vessels calling at ports within the Paris MoU region.
