Bulk Carrier Infinity Sky Detained in Vancouver

The bulk carrier INFINITY SKY (IMO 9839064) was detained in Vancouver on 29 Dec 2025 following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU, which identified 11 deficiencies, four of which were classified as detainable. The Panama-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 35,832, was inspected as part of routine Port State Control procedures. The nature of the specific deficiencies has not been disclosed, though the inspection resulted in sufficient grounds for authorities to detain the ship pending corrective action. Fairmont Shipping Canada is listed as the ISM company responsible for the vessel's safety management. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are typically imposed when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is generally required to rectify the identified issues before being permitted to depart. The case adds to the record of Port State Control actions logged in the Paris MoU region for the period, with the detention remaining in effect until the deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of inspecting authorities. No further details regarding the vessel's release status have been provided.
