General Cargo Ship Baltic Eclipse Detained in Loksa

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel BALTIC ECLIPSE (IMO 9963011) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 09 Nov 2026 at the port of Loksa, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of 8 deficiencies during the examination, of which 4 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The BALTIC ECLIPSE, flagged in Portugal, has a gross tonnage of 2,518 and is managed under the ISM Code by OCEAN STAR SHIPPING GMBH & CO. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and labour standards for vessels calling at member ports. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume its voyage. The vessel will remain under detention in Loksa until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority and clearance is granted for departure. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed.
