Detention

Detention is the act of holding a vessel, cargo, or crew by the authorities for inspection, investigation, or legal proceedings. It can be carried out by port state control, customs, or other government agencies. Detention can occur due to various reasons such as safety deficiencies, pollution, or violation of regulations. The duration of detention can vary depending on the severity of the issue and the cooperation of the shipowner or operator. During detention, the vessel may be prohibited from sailing and the cargo may be seized. Detention can have significant financial and reputational consequences for the shipowner or operator.
