Bulk Carrier Kouros Glory Detained in Constanta

The bulk carrier KOUROS GLORY (IMO 9478793) was detained at the Romanian port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Aug 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 17 deficiencies aboard the vessel, three of which were assessed as serious enough to warrant detention. The Panama-flagged ship, with a gross tonnage of 31,246, remains held at Constanta pending rectification of the identified faults and clearance by port authorities before it can resume operations. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Kouros Maritime Enterprises, which is responsible for addressing the deficiencies and coordinating with class and flag state representatives to secure the ship's release. Details of the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report. Detentions under the Paris MoU are issued when inspectors determine that conditions on board pose a risk to safety, the environment, or fail to meet international convention requirements, and vessels are typically required to undergo follow-up verification before departure is authorised. No further information on the timeline for the ship's release has been provided.
