Bulk Carrier CEMTEX EMINENCE Detained Under Paris MoU

The bulk carrier CEMTEX EMINENCE (IMO 9940631) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Robert's Bank on 19 Feb 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. The Hong Kong-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 54,244, was found to have seven deficiencies during the inspection, three of which were classified as detainable. The specific nature of the deficiencies was not disclosed in the report. The ship is managed under the ISM Code by U-Ming Marine Transport-SNG. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to compromise the safety, environmental performance, or seaworthiness of a vessel, requiring rectification before the ship is permitted to continue its voyage. Port State Control regimes such as the Paris MoU conduct inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international maritime conventions covering safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards. No further details regarding the release of the vessel or the specific deficiencies identified have been made available.
