General Cargo Ship Ventura Detained in Gdynia

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel VENTURA (IMO 9195731) has been detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection in Gdynia on 18 Feb 2026. The inspection, carried out under the Paris MoU regime, identified 23 deficiencies in total, of which 10 were classed as detainable. The VENTURA is flagged in the Isle of Man and has a gross tonnage of 2,545. The vessel's ISM company is listed as CCL Fleet Management Limited. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed. Detention under the Paris MoU framework is applied when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment or crew fail to meet international safety, pollution prevention or working condition standards to a degree that poses a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment. Vessels detained under the scheme are required to rectify all outstanding deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before being permitted to resume operations. The case adds to the ongoing record of Port State Control enforcement actions in the Baltic region, which authorities use to monitor compliance among vessels calling at regional ports. Further updates on the vessel's release are expected once corrective measures have been verified by inspectors.
