Cyprus-Flagged Bulk Carrier MOTTLER Detained in Trois Rivieres

The bulk carrier MOTTLER (IMO 9477828) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at Trois Rivieres on 10 Feb 2026, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded seven deficiencies aboard the vessel, four of which were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship in port. The MOTTLER is a Cyprus-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 19,814. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Navarone SA, which bears responsibility for ensuring the ship's compliance with international safety and operational standards. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, barring the ship from departure until the identified issues are rectified and verified by port state inspectors. Authorities have not released further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies identified. The vessel will remain in Trois Rivieres until corrective measures are completed and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, allowing the detention to be lifted.
