A multipurpose vessel owned by CNAN of Algeria has been barred by European port state authorities for three months.
The Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MOU) said the 9,800-dwt Gouraya (built 2010) had failed three inspections in the past two years.
In fact, the vessel, operated by CNAN Med, has been detained three times in Italian ports since last December.
