General Cargo Ship Mario C Detained in Savona

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel MARIO C has been detained at the Italian port of Savona following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, carried out on 27 Oct 2026, identified 11 deficiencies in total, of which five were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The MARIO C, which sails under the flag of Malta, has a gross tonnage of 9,089 and carries IMO number 9364526. The ship is managed under the International Safety Management Code by V SHIPS HAMBURG GMBH & CO KG, which will be responsible for addressing the deficiencies before the vessel can be cleared to resume operations. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are imposed when inspectors determine that one or more deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or indicate non-compliance with applicable international conventions. The vessel will remain in Savona until Port State Control authorities confirm that the detainable deficiencies have been resolved and the ship meets the required safety standards for release.
