General Cargo Ship AGN LAGERTHA Detained After Sulina Inspection

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel AGN LAGERTHA (IMO 9013000) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Sulina on 05 Aug 2026, according to a detention report issued under the Black Sea MOU. Inspectors recorded a total of 19 deficiencies during the examination, though the report lists zero deficiencies formally classified as detainable. Despite this, the vessel has been detained pending further action by port authorities. The ship, flying the flag of Palau, has a gross tonnage of 1,981 and a deadweight of 3,250 tonnes. The AGN LAGERTHA is managed under the International Safety Management Code by AGN Uluslararasi Tasimacilik AS. Port State Control inspections are designed to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards, and detentions are typically imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the vessel, its crew or the environment. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of inspections conducted under the Black Sea MOU framework, which monitors vessel compliance across member ports in the region.
