Container Ship CMA CGM RED Detained in Brisbane

The container ship CMA CGM RED was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Indian Mou regime, after inspectors recorded six deficiencies, one of which was classified as detainable. The inspection took place on 17 Feb 2026 at the Port of Brisbane, QLD. The vessel, which sails under the Malta flag, has IMO number 9690107 and is managed by CMA Ships Germany GmbH under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at a port comply with international safety, security and environmental standards. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the vessel, crew or the environment, requiring the ship to remain in port until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details regarding the nature of the detainable deficiency or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of inspections conducted under the Indian Mou framework, which monitors compliance among vessels operating in the region.
