General Cargo Vessel ENAS H Detained in Varna

The general cargo vessel ENAS H (IMO 9610822), flagged under KN, was detained during a Port State Control inspection in Varna on 15 Jul 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), identified a total of 19 deficiencies, including 9 considered detainable. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 6,503, is operated by the ISM company New Paris Shipping Ltd. The detainable deficiencies indicate serious non-compliance issues that warranted the detention to ensure maritime safety and environmental protection. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MOU are designed to enforce international maritime regulations and prevent substandard ships from operating. Detentions such as this highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining compliance among vessels operating in European waters. The ENAS H will remain detained until the identified deficiencies are rectified and the vessel meets the required safety and operational standards for release.
