Container Ship CMA CGM NOUADHIBOU Detained in Algeciras

The container vessel CMA CGM NOUADHIBOU was detained at the Spanish port of Algeciras following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 24 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 11 deficiencies aboard the vessel, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are resolved. The vessel, registered with IMO number 9376892, flies the flag of Malta and has a gross tonnage of 16,162. It is managed under the ISM Code by CMA SHIPS SAS. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies were disclosed in the detention report. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are carried out to verify compliance with international maritime safety, security and environmental standards. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the marine environment, and vessels are typically required to rectify the faults before being cleared to resume operations. The CMA CGM NOUADHIBOU will remain under detention at Algeciras until the port authority confirms that the identified deficiencies have been addressed in accordance with applicable regulations.
