The general cargo vessel “NIHAL” will be refused further access to any port and anchorage in the Paris MOU region, after it was detained in Birkenhead, UK, on 18 September 2017 due to multiple detentions.
The ship flies the flag of Cook Islands, which is black on the current Paris MoU WGB list.
Therefore under the provisions of section 4 of the Paris MoU, the 5,730 dwt ship will be refused access to the Paris MOU region, except a port and anchorage of the ship’s flag State. This refusal of access will become applicable immediately after the ship is authorized to leave this port and anchorage.
As this is the first refusal of access order the period of the refusal of access will be 3 months.
