General Cargo Ship NS HOLLAND Detained in Ravenna

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel NS HOLLAND (IMO 9142526) was detained at the Italian port of Ravenna following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 19 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded 36 deficiencies in total, of which 16 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, which flies the Belize (BZ) flag and has a gross tonnage of 1,682, is managed under ISM by NS Holland Shipholding Ltd. The Paris MoU detention regime allows port authorities to hold vessels found to pose safety, security or environmental risks until deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of inspectors. A high ratio of detainable to total deficiencies, as recorded in this case, typically indicates significant shortcomings across multiple areas of the vessel's condition, equipment or operational management. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an estimated release date have been disclosed. The vessel will remain under detention in Ravenna until the identified issues are addressed and verified through a follow-up inspection, in line with standard Port State Control procedures.
