A motor ship flying the Panamanian flag and with a crew of eight people of Turkish and Albanian nationality on board was blocked in the port of Cagliari by the Coast Guard.

Following an inspection conducted by the Port State Control specialized team of the Port Authority, led by Captain Mario Valente, “very serious deficiencies related to navigation safety” emerged.

In particular, during the checks carried out on the cargo general Victres, 25 irregularities were found, of which 16 were reasons for the ship being stopped. The cargo, which left Spain, arrived in Sardinia at 9.30 with a load of 1,300 tons of fluorine . As ordered by the Port Authority, it will not be able to leave from the port of Cagliari until the necessary safety conditions on board are re-established, and only after it has been inspected again by the Port State Control team.
