The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ZAGOR was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 31 Aug 2026 at Kdz.eregli, under the Black Sea MOU. Inspectors recorded 18 deficiencies during the examination, though none were classified as detainable under the reported findings. The ZAGOR, sailing under the flag of Palau with IMO number 9126352, has a gross tonnage of 2,567 and a deadweight of 4,481 DWT. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Dragos Shipping Ltd. Port State Control regimes such as the Black Sea MOU conduct inspections to verify compliance with international maritime safety, environmental and labour standards. Detentions are typically imposed when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the vessel, crew or the environment, requiring rectification before the ship is permitted to continue its voyage. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified aboard the ZAGOR and the timeline for release from detention have not been disclosed.
