IMO Lists Numerous Ships Detained By Authorities In a report made available to the public, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) listed 220 ships that were detained by port state con- trol authorities for varied reasons - including deficiencies to life-saving, fire-fighting and communication equipment as well as structural de- ficiencies. The report has been made avail- able to the meeting taking place at the IMO's London headquarters, whereas in the past the report went to the Maritime Safety Committee. The annual exercise carried out by the IMO has taken on greater importance since it took steps to put flag states and classification societ- ies under closer scrutiny. Sixty-four bulkers were included in the list, while tankers accounted for only 15 of the ships. Half of the ships held were from open registers. Panama led the group with 31 ships detained, Cyprus with 26 and Malta with 13. National flags also figured promi- nently. Fifteen Turkish-flag ships were detained, which leads one to question the effectiveness of the Turkish administration at a time when the country's fleet is report- edly growing. ; Is The Choice!
