Paris MoU: Procedures for refusal of access
TINNews
The Paris MoU has issued a document to provide information on procedures for ships being refused access due to failure to call at an indicated repair yard, jumping detention or multiple detentions, including the required notifications.
The flag State or recognized organization acting on behalf of the flag State must confirm that the ship is permitted to proceed to the nearest available and appropriate repair port and advise any conditions for the voyage. The conditions for release must be acceptable to the port State that may impose additional conditions.
The Paris MoU clarifies the procedures when a ship is allowed to sail to a repair yard; when a ship fails to call at an agreed repair yard and in the case of multiple detentions.
