General Cargo Ship HALIVER Detained in Novorossiisk

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HALIVER (IMO 8133566) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Novorossiisk on 31 Jul 2026, conducted under the Black Sea MOU. Inspectors recorded a total of 36 deficiencies aboard the vessel, though none were individually classified as detainable. The HALIVER, flying the flag of Somalia, has a gross tonnage of 2,478 and a deadweight of 3,346 tonnes. Its ISM company is listed as Guha Insaat Mermer Madencilik Denizcilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd Sti. Despite the absence of a single deficiency meeting the threshold for detention, the cumulative number of findings led port state control authorities to detain the ship pending corrective action. Detentions of this nature are typically imposed when the overall condition of a vessel raises concerns about seaworthiness, crew competency, or compliance with international safety and environmental conventions, even if no single fault is severe enough to warrant detention on its own. The vessel will remain under detention at Novorossiisk until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of inspectors and the ship is cleared to resume operations.
