Panama-Flagged LIMCO SEOUL Detained in Salalah

The general cargo/multi-purpose ship LIMCO SEOUL (IMO 9272993) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Salalah Services on 28 Oct 2026, according to a detention report issued under the Riyadh MoU. The vessel, flagged in Panama, has a gross tonnage of 6,379. The inspection was carried out as part of routine Port State Control procedures under the Riyadh MoU framework, which covers port authorities in the Gulf region responsible for enforcing international maritime safety and environmental standards. No further details regarding the specific deficiencies that led to the detention have been disclosed in the report. Port State Control detentions are typically issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume its voyage. The LIMCO SEOUL will remain detained at Salalah Services until the identified issues are addressed and the vessel is cleared by the relevant port authorities to continue operations.
