Paris MOU bans two ships for a year after repeated detentions

Two vessels have been banned for a year after failing repeated port-state-control checks in Europe.

The Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MOU) said the 2,100-dwt cargoship Rafaelo I (built 1985) was detained in December at the port of Ravenna in Italy.

This was the fourth detention in the Paris MOU region within the last 36 months.
