2. Where there is clear, objective evidence that a ship navigating in the areas referred to in Article 3(1)(b) or (d) has, in the area referred to in Article 3(1)(d), committed an infringement resulting in a discharge causing major damage or a threat of major damage to the coastline or related interests of the Member State concerned, or to any resources of the areas referred to in Article 3(1)(b) or (d), that State shall, subject to Part XII, Section 7 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and provided that the evidence so warrants, submit the matter to its competent authorities with a view to instituting proceedings, including detention of the ship, i ...[+++]n accordance with its national law.

(3) Whereas to this end, the list of information to be published should be expanded, notably in order to include more detailed information on the ship involved, the detention and the action taken, as well as information on ships which have been refused access to Community ports; whereas it should be more clearly established where deficiencies which led to the detention of the vessel lie within the survey responsibilities of classification societies; whereas the efficiency of such measure should be enhanced through a more frequent publication of information, on a monthly basis;

Whereas in order to decide whether or not a ship should be detained, the inspector shall apply the criteria set out in Annex VI to the said Directive; whereas however it would be inappropriate to detain a vessel on the grounds of damage accidentally suffered, provided certain conditions are met;
