Bulk Carrier KOUROS GLORY Detained in Constanta

The bulk carrier KOUROS GLORY was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Constanta, Romania, conducted under the Black Sea MOU on 19 Aug 2026. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies aboard the vessel, though none were individually classified as detainable, according to the inspection report. The KOUROS GLORY, sailing under the Panama flag, has a gross tonnage of 31,246 and a deadweight of 55,654 tonnes. The vessel carries IMO number 9478793 and is managed under the ISM Code by Kouros Maritime Enterprises Inc. Port State Control regimes such as the Black Sea MOU carry out inspections to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and labour standards. While the detention report indicates no single deficiency met the formal threshold for detention on its own, the cumulative number of findings led authorities to hold the vessel at Constanta pending resolution. The vessel will remain detained until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port state control officers and the necessary clearances are issued. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an anticipated release date were disclosed in the report.
