The refrigerated cargo vessel BALTIC WINTER (IMO 9014755) has been detained by port state control authorities following an inspection at the port of Chancay on 03 Nov 2026. The inspection was carried out under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded three deficiencies during the examination, one of which was classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending rectification. The specific nature of the deficiencies was not disclosed in the report. BALTIC WINTER flies the flag of Bahamas and has a gross tonnage of 10,842 with a deadweight of 12,890 tonnes. The vessel's ISM company is OWH Shipmanagement GmbH, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be released to continue trading.

The vessel is expected to remain in Chancay until the detainable deficiency is resolved and authorities confirm compliance through a follow-up inspection.
