UK MCA says overall detentions rate shows slight decrease
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) announced that three foreign flagged ships were under detention in UK ports during July 2013 after failing Port State Control ( PSC) inspection.
Latest monthly figures show that although there were no new detentions of foreign flagged vessels in UK ports during July 2013, three vessels remained under detention from previous months. They remained under detention at the end of July.
The overall rate of detentions compared with inspections carried out over the last 12 months was 3% – a slight decrease from June’s 12 month rate.
Two of the detained vessels were registered with a flag state listed on the Paris MOU white list. The other was unregistered.
