A tanker linked to Indian company Gatik Ship Management has been detained in Antwerp during a rare port call by a shadow operator in Europe, according to port control data.
The 73,741-dwt Galatia (built 2005) was detained on 24 July after inspectors identified 22 defects, including seven that gave grounds for detention, said the Antwerp port state control.
The Panama-flagged Galatia has this year lifted oil from the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk while under the management of Gatik and has been involved in five ship-to-ship oil transfers in the Red Sea and off Greece in 2023, Kpler data suggests.
