Samskip Skaftafell Detained at Immingham After Inspection

The container vessel SAMSKIP SKAFTAFELL (IMO 9164562) was detained by Paris MoU inspectors at the port of Immingham following an inspection conducted on 17 Dec 2025. The Port State Control check identified a total of 33 deficiencies, of which 7 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship, flying the flag of the Netherlands, has a gross tonnage of 4,450 and is managed under the ISM Code by Nav-Tech BV. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection were not disclosed in the Port State Control report. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The Paris MoU conducts inspections across ports in Europe and the North Atlantic to enforce compliance with international maritime safety, security, and environmental standards. The vessel will remain detained at Immingham until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and clearance is granted for departure.
