General Cargo Ship GRONA RAVEN Detained in Klaipeda

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel GRONA RAVEN (IMO 9368649) was detained in the port of Klaipeda following a Paris MoU port state control inspection conducted on 25 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 21 deficiencies, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship until the issues are rectified. The vessel, flagged in the Marshall Islands (MH), has a gross tonnage of 4,825. It is managed under the ISM Code by Grona Shipping BV, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies and arranging for re-inspection before the ship can be released. Port state control detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, or indicate failures in compliance with international maritime conventions. Vessels detained under this regime must undergo corrective action verified by the relevant maritime authority prior to departure. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed. The case adds to the record of inspections carried out under the Paris MoU, which monitors compliance among ships calling at ports across Europe and the North Atlantic.
