Reviews & Ratings for the Theometor

The MV Theometor was detained in Shanghai on August 22, 2026, due to several critical safety deficiencies identified during inspections. The vessel faced detainable issues including a malfunctioning fire detection and alarm system (IMO No. 07106), problems with the emergency water level indicator (IMO No. 04113), deficiencies in the auxiliary engine (IMO No. 13102), and a non-functional fixed fire extinguishing installation (IMO No. 07109). Notably, these violations were not attributed to the Responsibility of the Recognized Organization (RO).

On April 19, 2018, the bulk carrier 'Theometor' found itself detained at Paradip Port after completing the offloading of a substantial cargo of 51,350 tons of rock phosphate. The arrest of the vessel came following a court warrant instigated by the ship's manager, Latona Maritime, due to a financial disagreement with its charterer, Singapore-based Valency International Trading Pvt Ltd (VIT). The legal dispute prompted Latona Maritime to seek the vessel's detention in court. Consequently, the court granted the request and summoned the manager for a hearing. In an effort to optimize port operations, the Paradip Port Authority requested the court's permission to relocate the vessel to another berth to accommodate the arrival of additional ships. As of April 20, 'Theometor' was moored at the anchorage off Paradip, awaiting further developments.
