MCA: Five Foreign Flagged Ships Detained in UK Ports during May 2013

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) announced today that five foreign flagged ships were under detention in UK ports during May 2013 after failing Port State Control (PSC) inspection.

Latest monthly figures show that there were two new detentions of foreign flagged vessels in UK ports during May 2013 and three vessels remained under detention from previous months. Only three vessels remained under detention at the end of May. The overall rate of detentions compared with inspections carried out over the last twelve months was 3.32% this is slightly down from April’s twelve month rate.

Out of the detained vessels three were registered with a flag state listed on the Paris MOU white list, none was registered with a flag state on the grey list, one were registered with a flag state on the black list, one was unregistered and none were registered with a flag state that was not included on the Paris MOU white, grey or black lists.
