General Cargo Vessel MINCIVAN Detained in Constanta

The general cargo vessel MINCIVAN (IMO 9532422), flagged KM, was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Constanta on 06 Jul 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), identified a total of 24 deficiencies, of which 10 were deemed detainable. MINCIVAN, with a gross tonnage of 3,770, is operated by the ISM company RAEMSHIP LTD. The detainable deficiencies indicate serious non-compliance issues that compromised the vessel's safety or environmental standards, leading to the detention decision. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MOU aim to ensure that foreign ships visiting member ports comply with international regulations. Detention is a measure used to prevent unsafe vessels from continuing operations until deficiencies are rectified. The detention of MINCIVAN underscores the ongoing enforcement of maritime safety standards in the region and the importance of compliance by ship operators to avoid operational disruptions.
