Bulk Carrier UNITY N Detained in Norway After PSC Inspection

The bulk carrier UNITY N (IMO 9490466) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU at the port of Mo i Rana, Norway, on 08 Jan 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 12 deficiencies during the examination, two of which were assessed as serious enough to warrant detention of the vessel. The ship will remain in port until the detainable deficiencies are rectified and the vessel is cleared to sail by the relevant authorities. UNITY N is a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 43,506. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Navios International Mgmt Inc. Details of the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew certification pose a risk to safety, security, or the environment, requiring corrective action before the ship may continue its voyage. The case adds to the record of inspection outcomes tracked under the Paris MoU regime, which monitors compliance of foreign-flagged vessels calling at ports across Europe and the North Atlantic.
