A Hong Kong-owned platform supply vessel (PSV) has been detained in the UK as authorities prepared to investigate conditions for crew members on board.

The 4,000-dwt Ben Nevis (built 2013) was held in Aberdeen on Monday, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) confirmed to TradeWinds.

MCA added the move was "a preventative measure in line with UK regulations, in order that a full inspection of the ship related to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) can be carried out before its intended departure.
