Livestock Carrier Pacific M Detained in Midia Under Paris MoU

The livestock carrier Pacific M (IMO 7041053) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Midia on 31 Oct 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. Inspectors recorded 14 deficiencies, six of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are resolved. The Pacific M, flagged in Togo, has a gross tonnage of 2,987 and is managed under the International Safety Management Code by Alpha Management Co SA. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection were not disclosed in the report. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU framework are intended to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Vessels found with detainable deficiencies are held in port until corrective action is taken and authorities confirm the ship is fit to resume operations. The detention adds the Pacific M to the list of vessels flagged for non-compliance in the Paris MoU region this year. No timeline for the vessel's release has been announced, and further updates are expected once the deficiencies are addressed and verified by port authorities.
