During April, there were zero new detentions of foreign flagged vessels in a UK port.<\/p>\n
1. In response to one of the recommendations of Lord Donaldson\u2019s inquiry into the prevention of pollution from merchant shipping, and in compliance with the EU Directive on Port State Control (2009\/16\/EC as amended), the Maritime and Coastguard agency (MCA) publishes details of the foreign flagged vessels detained in UK ports each month.<\/p>\n
2. The UK is part of a regional agreement on port state control known as the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control (Paris MOU) and information on all ships that are inspected is held centrally in an electronic database known as THETIS. This allows the ships with a high risk rating and poor detention records to be targeted for future inspection.<\/p>\n
3. Inspections of foreign flagged ships in UK ports are undertaken by surveyors from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. When a ship is found to be not in compliance with applicable convention requirements, a deficiency may be raised. If any of their deficiencies are so serious, they have to be rectified before departure, then the ship will be detained.<\/p>\n
4. All deficiencies should be rectified before departure.<\/p>\n
5. When applicable, the list includes those passenger craft prevented from operating under the provisions of the EU Directive on a system of inspections for the safe operation of Ro-Ro passenger ships and high-speed passenger craft in regular service and amending directive 2009\/16\/EC and repealing Council Directive 1999\/35\/EC (Directive EU 2017\/2110).<\/p>\n
