Three more foreign-flagged vessels were detained in UK ports during July 2016 after failing Port State Control (PSC) inspection, the country’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said.

In addition, four vessels remained under detention from previous months.

Six out of seven vessels remained under detention at the end of the month, with one vessel released on July 11.
