General Cargo Ship MAUREEN S Detained in Szczecin

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel MAUREEN S (IMO 8707783) was detained at the Polish port of Szczecin following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 27 Oct 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 19 deficiencies during the inspection, of which three were assessed as grounds for detention. The vessel, flagged in Antigua and Barbuda, has a gross tonnage of 2,642 and is managed under the ISM Code by Kevin S GmbH & Co KG. The detention means MAUREEN S is barred from departing Szczecin until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and the ship is cleared for release. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's onward itinerary have been disclosed. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign ships calling at European ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew or the marine environment, and vessels typically remain held until corrective action is verified by inspectors.
