Bulk Carrier GREENTEC Detained in Venice After Inspection

The bulk carrier GREENTEC (IMO 9493509) has been detained in the Italian port of Venice following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 30 Dec 2025. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies, four of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The GREENTEC is a Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 20,763. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by SHANGHAI ANRITA SHPG CO LTD, which bears responsibility for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection before the ship can be released. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew certification fails to meet international safety, pollution prevention, or labour standards to a degree that poses a risk if the ship were to continue operating. The specific nature of the four detainable deficiencies aboard the GREENTEC has not been disclosed in the report. The vessel will remain in Venice until the identified deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, at which point Port State Control authorities may authorise its release and departure.
