Bulk Carrier LM DEMETER Detained at Immingham

The bulk carrier LM DEMETER (IMO 9580106) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU at the port of Immingham on 20 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 26 deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The ship is Liberian-flagged, has a gross tonnage of 23,783, and is managed under the ISM Code by Element Shipmanagement SA. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the marine environment. Vessels subject to detention are typically required to address the identified deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before being cleared to resume operations. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The case adds to the ongoing record of Port State Control enforcement actions within the Paris MoU region, which monitors compliance with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards among vessels calling at member ports.
