The following are the main criteria for the detention of a vessel:
A vessel which is unsafe to proceed to sea will be detained upon the first inspection, irrespective of the time
the vessel is scheduled to stay in port;
The deficiencies on a vessel are so serious that they will have to be rectified before the ship sails.
BANNING
BANNING
A ban is a measure imposed on an individual ship. Once banned, a transfer of company, flag or change in
other involved parties does not revoke a ban or otherwise shorten the applicable periods mentioned.
BANNING
Ships are banned after multiple detentions: these ships will be refused access to any port in the region
of the Memorandum for a minimum period. The refusal of access following multiple detentions will
become applicable as soon as the ship leaves the port or anchorage.
Ships which jump detention or fail to call at an indicated repair yard are banned: these ships will be
refused access to any port in the region of the Memorandum.
