Two passenger ships were detained in the UK in May after falling foul of Port State Control (PSC) inspections, latest disclosures show.

The 70,300-gt Ambience (built 1991) was detained in the port of Tilbury on 26 May 2022, according to the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).

PSC inspectors found 20 deficiencies aboard the Bahamas-flagged cruise ship, with two serious enough to warrant detention.
