Netherlands-Flagged Bulker Bee 11 Detained at Halmstad

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel BULKER BEE 11 (IMO 9507075) has been detained in the Swedish port of Halmstad following a Port State Control inspection carried out under the Paris MoU framework on 04 Dec 2025. Inspectors recorded a total of 22 deficiencies on board, of which two were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The Netherlands-flagged ship, with a gross tonnage of 9,514, is managed under the ISM Code by Heidmar Marine Services BV. The Paris MoU conducts regular inspections of vessels calling at European ports to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Detention is imposed when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel remains held until the ISM company addresses the detainable items to the satisfaction of port state authorities. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The vessel's detention record will be entered into the Paris MoU database, which tracks compliance history and can influence future inspection targeting of both the ship and its managing company.
