The Norwegian shipowner confirmed today that the 6,500-ceu Hoegh Transporter (built 1999) was boarded by officials while at Mombasa yesterday.
Authorities asked to inspect the cargo that was to be discharged at the port.
"The vessel’s crew, our local agent in Kenya and Hoegh Autoliners’ local African operations team is cooperating fully with Kenyan authorities," the company said today. "We at this point do not know when the inspection will be completed and the vessel cleared to sail."
