Oil/Chemical Tanker DANIA J Detained in Constanta

The oil/chemical tanker DANIA J (IMO 9143893) has been detained at the Romanian port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU. The inspection, conducted on 28 Jul 2026, uncovered 37 deficiencies, of which 21 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The DANIA J is a Comoros-flagged (KM) oil tanker/chemical tanker with a gross tonnage of 2,133. The vessel's ISM Company is listed as DANIA MARITIME CORP. Details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed, though the high ratio of detainable to total deficiencies points to significant safety, operational or documentation shortcomings identified by inspectors. Port State Control detentions under the Paris MoU framework are intended to ensure that substandard vessels are prevented from sailing until deficiencies are rectified, safeguarding maritime safety and environmental protection across member states. The vessel will remain detained in Constanta until the identified deficiencies are addressed and verified by port authorities, allowing it to resume operations.
