The inspection identified 21 deficiencies in total, of which 10 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified and verified through a follow-up inspection. The NS ARLECCHINO is a 1,682 gross tonnage general cargo/multipurpose ship flagged in Belize (BZ). Its ISM Company is listed as PELAGOS MARINE SA-MAI, which bears responsibility for the vessel's safety management system under the International Safety Management Code. Detentions under the Paris MoU are triggered when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment. The vessel will remain detained until the deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control officers and clearance is granted for onward voyage. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
