General Cargo Ship JAOHAR RANIM Detained in Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel JAOHAR RANIM (IMO 9136876) was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Aliaga on 19 Aug 2026, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. The inspection identified a total of 10 deficiencies, two of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified and verified. The Togo-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 4,358 and is managed under the ISM Code by Lyndon Marine Ltd. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to safety, the environment, or compliance with international maritime conventions, and vessels are typically required to address such faults before being cleared to sail. The Med MoU is one of several regional agreements that coordinate ship inspections to enforce international safety, security and environmental standards among member states bordering the Mediterranean. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date for the JAOHAR RANIM have been disclosed. The vessel will remain under detention in Aliaga pending resolution of the identified deficiencies and confirmation of compliance during a follow-up inspection.
