Bulk Carrier STELIOS T Detained at Immingham After Inspection

The bulk carrier STELIOS T (IMO 9571430) has been detained at the UK port of Immingham following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU, conducted on 18 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 29 deficiencies aboard the vessel, of which 9 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified and verified. The vessel is a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 22,910, managed under the International Safety Management Code by Load Line Marine SA. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at MoU member ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the flag state or classification society confirms the defects have been addressed. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date for the STELIOS T have been disclosed. The case will be recorded in the Paris MoU inspection database, which tracks detention history for vessels and companies operating in the region.
