Panama-Flagged HALISDEMIR Detained in Venice After Inspection

The general cargo vessel HALISDEMIR was detained at the Italian port of Venice on 02 Sep 2026 following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime, which uncovered 11 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to warrant detention. The ship, flying the flag of Panama, has an IMO number of 9517331 and a gross tonnage of 5,164. It is classified as a general cargo/multipurpose vessel and is managed under the ISM Code by EMIROGLU DENIZ NAKLIYATI. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed. Under the Paris MoU framework, port state control officers assess foreign vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Vessels found with deficiencies posing a risk to safety, the environment or seafarers' living and working conditions can be detained until the issues are rectified and the ship is deemed fit to sail. The HALISDEMIR will remain in Venice until the identified deficiencies are corrected and the vessel passes a follow-up inspection confirming compliance, at which point port authorities will authorize its release.
