The general cargo/multipurpose vessel EDELSTEIN (IMO 9159581) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Aliaga on 29 Jul 2026. The inspection, carried out under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU), identified 14 deficiencies in total, four of which were assessed as detainable. The 8,579 gross tonnage vessel sails under the flag of Comoros (KM). Its ISM Company is listed as Hat Denizcilik Nakliyat ve Dis. Port State Control authorities have not disclosed the specific nature of the detainable deficiencies identified during the inspection. Under Med MoU procedures, a vessel is detained when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment. The ship will remain under detention until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance before the vessel is permitted to resume operations.
