Two Sinokor Merchant Marine VLCCs have been detained in Europe in a little over a month after failing port state control inspections.
The ships are the Marshall Islands-flagged 316,400-dwt Gulf Loyalty (built 2011) and 314,000-dwt North Loyalty (built 2012), according to data from the Paris MoU.
The Gulf Loyalty was detained at the port of Fawley in southern England on 1 April after inspectors uncovered 15 deficiencies, of which seven were deemed sufficient to hold the ship.
