M/V Furkan refused access to Paris MoU region

M/V Furkan was detained in Castellon (Spain) on December 20, 2014. This is the third detention in the Paris MoU region within the last 24 months. The ship flies the flag of VANUATU, which is grey on the current Paris MoU BWG list. Therefore under the provisions of section 4 of the Paris MoU, Article 16 of EU Council Directive 2009/16/EC the ship will be refused further access to any port and anchorage in the Paris MOU region , except a port and anchorage of the  ship's flag State. This 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 3 months.
