The Paris MOU port state control organisation has barred a car carrier that skipped a trip to a repair yard in Turkey.

It said the 4,585-ceu City of Antwerp (built 1988) had been detained in Antwerp, Belgium, since 13 October 2015 and left the port on 24 August 2017.

But the vessel failed to call at a yard in Yalova as agreed before 5 September.
