Bulk Carrier UBC STOCKHOLM Detained at Port of Sorel

The bulk carrier UBC STOCKHOLM (IMO 9426879) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 09 Oct 2026 at the port of Sorel, under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection identified a total of 10 deficiencies aboard the vessel, one of which was assessed as serious enough to warrant detention. The Cyprus-flagged ship, with a gross tonnage of 21,018, remains in port pending rectification of the outstanding issue before it can be cleared to resume operations. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Mastermind Shipmanagement Ltd, which bears responsibility for ensuring the ship meets international safety and operational standards. Port State Control inspections such as this one are carried out to verify compliance with international maritime conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare, and detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered to pose a risk to the vessel, its crew or the environment. No further details regarding the nature of the detainable deficiency or the expected timeline for release have been disclosed. Further updates are expected once the vessel owner and management company address the findings to the satisfaction of Paris MoU authorities.
