CRUISE SHIP MSC OPERA DETAINED IN SOUTHAMPTON
On the 25th May, MCA Surveyors from the Southampton Marine Office Southampton visited the cruise ship MSC OPERA on its arrival at Southampton to undertake a routine Port State Control Inspection.
Various defects were found which meant that the ship was not fully compliant with International maritime safety regulations. As a consequence the MCA decided that it was necessary to detain the vessel in Southampton until such time as the owners were able to demonstrate compliance.
MCA Surveyors have made a number of follow up visits to the ship to assess progress although the ship continues to be detained at this time.
