General Cargo Ship NACC SKY Detained in Augusta

The Panama-flagged general cargo/multipurpose vessel NACC SKY (IMO 9000211) was detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU at the port of Augusta on 26 Jan 2026. Inspectors recorded 22 deficiencies in total, of which 17 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship has a gross tonnage of 2,975 and is managed under the ISM Code by Retro Management Ltd. Port State Control detentions are imposed when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to safety, the environment, or compliance with international maritime regulations, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to continue its voyage. The scale of deficiencies found aboard NACC SKY, with the majority deemed detainable, indicates significant shortcomings identified during the inspection. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies, the vessel's next port of call, or an expected release date have been disclosed. The case remains on record as part of the Paris MoU's monitoring of substandard shipping in the region.
