General cargo ship M/V Georgiana H, IMO number 8911413, was detained in Marina di Carrara, Italy on July 17, tallying as the ship’s third detention in the Paris MoU region within the last 24 months. 

The ship flies the flag of Republic of Togo which is black on the current Paris MoU WGB list. The ship will be refused further access to any port and anchorages in the Paris MoU region, except a port of the ship's flag state. 

The refusal of access will become applicable immediately after the ship is authorized to leave this port and anchorage. As this is the first refusal of access order the period of the refusal of access will be three months.

On March 3, general cargo ship M/V Andrey Osipov, IMO number 8711306, was detained in Brake/Bremerhaven, Germany. This is also the ship’s third detention in the Paris MoU region within the last 24 months.

The 1994-built ship flies the flag of St. Kitts and Nevis (at first PSC visit), which is grey on the current Paris MoU WGB list.
