Bulk Carrier EAGLE I Detained in Leixoes After PSC Inspection

The bulk carrier EAGLE I (IMO 9227869) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Leixoes, Portugal, conducted under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, carried out on 11 Feb 2026, identified a total of 16 deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable. The vessel, flagged in Tanzania, has a gross tonnage of 11,194 and is managed under the ISM Code by T-Shipping Ltd. Port State Control authorities did not release further details on the specific nature of the detainable deficiencies in the inspection report. Detentions under the Paris MoU are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. The Paris MoU, covering European waters and the North Atlantic basin, conducts regular inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify adherence to international maritime safety, security, and environmental conventions. No further information has been provided regarding the timeline for the vessel's release or the corrective measures required before it can resume operations.
