General Cargo Ship ATTILA Detained in Limassol

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ATTILA (IMO 9400150) was detained in Limassol following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 29 Jul 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded five deficiencies in total, two of which were classified as detainable, leading to the vessel being held in port. The ATTILA, flagged in Gibraltar, has a gross tonnage of 3,778 and is managed under the ISM Code by BKD Logistics Ltd. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified during the inspection. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The Paris MoU coordinates inspection regimes across ports in Europe and the North Atlantic to enforce compliance with international maritime safety, security, and environmental standards. The vessel will remain in Limassol until the outstanding detainable deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port authorities and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. Further updates on the release of the ATTILA are expected once corrective action has been completed and verified.
