Ro-Ro Cargo Ship SEA PATRIS Detained in Livorno

The Panama-flagged Ro-Ro cargo vessel SEA PATRIS (IMO 8415794) was detained in the Italian port of Livorno following a Paris MoU port state control inspection conducted on 26 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of six deficiencies aboard the 36,201 gross tonnage vessel, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The specific nature of the deficiencies was not detailed in the inspection report. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by MCCL. Port state control inspections under the Paris MoU framework are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at European ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions, with detentions reserved for cases where deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew or environment if it were to continue operating. The SEA PATRIS will remain under detention in Livorno until the detainable deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port state control authorities and the vessel is cleared to resume operations.
