Ro-Ro Cargo Ship MIRA Detained in Tuapse After Inspection

The Cameroon-flagged Ro-Ro cargo vessel MIRA (IMO 7637319) was detained in the port of Tuapse following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Aug 2026 under the Black Sea MOU framework. Inspectors recorded a total of 31 deficiencies during the examination, though none were classified as detainable on an individual basis. Despite this, authorities opted to detain the vessel, indicating that the cumulative scope and nature of the deficiencies were deemed sufficient to warrant holding the ship in port until corrective measures are verified. MIRA is a Ro-Ro cargo ship with a gross tonnage of 5,877 and a deadweight of 4,350 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Alesta Roro Gemi Acenteligi ve Isletmeciligi Nakliye Ticaret Ltd Sti. No further details have been released regarding the specific categories of deficiencies identified, the estimated duration of the detention, or the timeline for the vessel's release. Port State Control detentions of this kind are typically imposed to ensure compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and labour standards before a vessel is permitted to resume operations. Further updates on the status of MIRA are expected once remedial actions are completed and verified by port authorities.
