General Cargo Ship Karewood Glory Detained in Gaeta

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel KAREWOOD GLORY (IMO 9281504) has been detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at the Italian port of Gaeta on 31 Aug 2026. The inspection, carried out under the Paris MoU framework, identified four deficiencies aboard the vessel, all of which were classified as detainable. The KAREWOOD GLORY, flagged in the Bahamas, has a gross tonnage of 5,197. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Karewood Management OU, which bears responsibility for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection before the ship can resume operations. Detentions under the Paris MoU occur when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew do not comply with international safety, security, or environmental standards to a degree that poses a risk to the ship, its crew, or the marine environment. The vessel will remain detained in Gaeta until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of port state control officers and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details regarding the specific nature of the four deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed.
