The Paris MoU port state organisation has banned a Russian cargoship for a year after multiple detentions.
It said the 3,400-dwt Sormovskiy-32 (built 1974) will be refused access to all Paris MoU ports after it was held for six days in Taganrog, Russia, with 15 deficiencies.
Vessels are banned for three months if it is a first offence, but 12 months if they have been barred before.
