Bulk Carrier SOLIDARNOSC Detained at South Shields

The Liberian-flagged bulk carrier SOLIDARNOSC (IMO 9708069) has been detained at South Shields following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, carried out on 01 Nov 2026, identified 10 deficiencies in total, four of which were serious enough to warrant detention. The 25,278 gross tonnage vessel is managed by ISM company Polska Zegluga Morska PP. Authorities have not released further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies that led to the detention, though the designation indicates conditions serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment. Under Paris MoU procedures, a vessel is detained when inspectors find deficiencies that are considered to be clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment. The ship will remain in port until the deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable international conventions. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at European and North Atlantic ports meet international safety, security and environmental standards. Detention records are published to inform the shipping industry and to encourage compliance by flag states, classification societies and ship managers.
