A giant replica of Noah's Ark has been deemed unseaworthy and detained where it is docked.
The 70m-long (230ft) ship, which has been transformed into a floating museum, arrived in Ipswich in 2019.
In response to a Freedom of Information request made by the East Anglian Daily Times, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the vessel was not safe to leave due to "deficiencies".
A spokesman for the MCA said: "The vessel, Noah's Ark will remain detained until all the deficiencies have been put right and a Maritime and Coastguard Agency surveyor is invited back by the owners to check that they have been corrected."
He said he was unable to disclose specific details of the deficiencies.
