Cargo Ship LADY SHAM Detained in Marseille Over Deficiencies

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LADY SHAM (IMO 9171383) was detained at the French port of Marseille (GPM) following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 17 Sep 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 41 deficiencies during the examination, of which 17 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flagged in San Marino, has a gross tonnage of 6,354. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies were disclosed in the inspection report. The vessel is managed under the International Safety Management Code by Perama Shipmanagement Ltd. Port State Control detentions of this scale, with the high ratio of detainable to total deficiencies, typically point to significant concerns across multiple safety, operational or structural areas of the ship, and such cases are closely monitored by the Paris MoU as part of its regional efforts to enforce international maritime safety standards. The LADY SHAM will remain detained in Marseille until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of port state control authorities and the vessel is cleared to resume operations. Further updates on the vessel's status have not been provided.
