Commercial Yacht ROOSTER Detained in Kos Port

The commercial yacht ROOSTER (IMO 9625499), flagged under MT, was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Kos on 24 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 243, was inspected under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regime. During the inspection, a total of seven deficiencies were identified, six of which were classified as detainable. These serious deficiencies led to the vessel's detention, preventing it from continuing its voyage until corrective measures are taken. The Paris MOU is a regional agreement aimed at eliminating substandard shipping through inspections and enforcement. Detentions under this regime highlight significant non-compliance with international maritime safety and operational standards. The detention of ROOSTER underscores the importance of maintaining compliance with safety regulations to ensure the vessel's seaworthiness and the safety of its crew and passengers.
