Stealth Maritime sees appeal against UK port state control detention rejected

Greek shipowner Stealth Maritime has failed in an appeal to have a recent port state control (PSC) detention of a technically managed LPG carrier in the UK overturned.

The 4,100-cbm LPG carrier Gas Spirit (built 2001) was held at Teesport in early February 2022 after the Maritime and Coast Agency (MCA) said it found 13 deficiencies, five of which were “grounds for detention”.
