the following paragraph is inserted: ‘11a. In the case of a shipping company that has failed to comply with the surrender obligations for two or more consecutive reporting periods, and where other enforcement measures have failed to ensure compliance, the competent authority of the Member State of the port of entry may, after giving the opportunity to the shipping company concerned to submit its observations, issue an expulsion order, which shall be notified to the Commission, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the other Member States and the flag State concerned. As a result of the issuing of such an expulsion order, every Member State, with the exception of the Member State whose flag the ship is flying, shall refuse entry of the ships under the responsibility of the shipping company concerned into any of its ports until the shipping company fulfils its surrender obligations in accordance with Article 12. Where the ship flies the flag of a Member State and enters or is found in one of its ports, the Member State concerned shall, after giving the opportunity to the shipping company concerned to submit its observations, detain the ship until the shipping company fulfils its surrender obligations. Where a ship of a shipping company as referred to in the first subparagraph is found in one of the ports of the Member State whose flag the ship is flying, the Member State concerned may, after giving the opportunity to the shipping company concerned to submit its observations, issue a flag State detention order until the shipping company fulfils its surrender obligations. It shall inform the Commission, EMSA and the other Member States thereof. As a result of the issuing of such a flag State detention order, every Member State shall take the same measures as are required to be taken following the issuing of an expulsion order in accordance with the first subparagraph, second sentence. This paragraph shall be without prejudice to international maritime rules applicable in the case of ships in distress.’ ;
