A ship owned by Germany’s Hammonia Reederei is under detention off Tacoma after a port-state control inspection found numerous deficiencies.

The US Coast Guard said it discovered “significant safety violations” on the 2,550-teu Westwood Robson (built 2008) during a Thursday inspection.

An agency spokesman told TradeWinds that the ship remains detained on Sunday while the owner and crew address the alleged deficiencies.
