General Cargo Ship NM COPENHAGEN Detained at Nordenham

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel NM COPENHAGEN (IMO 9534274) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Jan 2026 at the port of Nordenham, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 16 deficiencies, of which 8 were assessed as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port pending rectification. The Portuguese-flagged ship, with a gross tonnage of 4,255, is managed under the ISM Company Gerdes Shipping Verwaltungs. The Paris MoU operates a port state control regime covering ports across Europe and the North Atlantic, inspecting foreign-flagged vessels for compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and labour conventions. Detentions are imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is required to remain in port until the issues are resolved and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release status have been disclosed in the inspection report.
