Container Ship OOCL ST. LAWRENCE Detained in Montreal

The container vessel OOCL ST. LAWRENCE was detained in the Port of Montreal following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 09 Feb 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies in total, of which five were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flagged in the Marshall Islands (MH) and carrying IMO number 9290414, has a gross tonnage of 54,809. Its ISM company is listed as Conbulk Shipmanagement Corp, which bears responsibility for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection and for arranging re-inspection before the vessel is cleared to resume operations. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or indicate non-compliance with international maritime conventions. Under the Paris MoU framework, vessels with detainable deficiencies are held until the issues are rectified to the satisfaction of port authorities. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
