General Cargo Ship SELAM Detained in Ravenna

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel SELAM (IMO 9418286) has been detained at the Italian port of Ravenna following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 28 Aug 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 33 deficiencies during the examination, of which 18 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the identified issues are rectified. The scale of the deficiencies indicates significant shortcomings across the ship's safety, structural, or operational systems, though the specific nature of the faults was not detailed in the inspection summary. SELAM sails under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN) and has a gross tonnage of 5,285. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Unimarin Denizcilik, which is responsible for ensuring compliance with international safety management standards. The detention will remain in effect until the vessel's operator addresses the deficiencies to the satisfaction of Paris MoU inspectors and demonstrates that the ship meets applicable international safety, pollution prevention, and seaworthiness requirements. Vessels detained under the Paris MoU are typically subject to follow-up verification inspections before being cleared to resume commercial operations.
