General Cargo Ship OLGA S Detained in Rotterdam

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel OLGA S (IMO 9108415) has been detained in Rotterdam following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime, conducted on 09 Jan 2026. Inspectors recorded 23 deficiencies on board, five of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The OLGA S sails under the flag of Tanzania and has a gross tonnage of 2,061. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by CROSS SHIPPING LTD-BUL. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed in the detention report. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged ships calling at European ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour standards. A detention is issued 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 not permitted to depart until the deficiencies are addressed and verified by inspectors. The case adds to the record of Paris MoU detentions logged in early 2026 and underscores continued scrutiny of older general cargo tonnage operating in European waters. No further details on the vessel's release or repair timeline have been made available.
