General Cargo Ship COSKUNLAR 2 Detained in Kdz.eregli

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel COSKUNLAR 2 (IMO 8943351) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Black Sea MOU. The inspection took place on 08 Sep 2026 at the port of Kdz.eregli. Inspectors recorded a total of 31 deficiencies aboard the vessel, though none were classified as detainable in isolation. Despite the absence of individually detainable findings, the cumulative extent of the deficiencies led authorities to detain the ship pending corrective action. The COSKUNLAR 2 flies the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis and has a gross tonnage of 1,243 with a deadweight of 2,276 tonnes. Its ISM Company is listed as Of Shipping Ltd. The vessel's small size classifies it within the general cargo/multipurpose category, typically used for short-sea and regional trade routes in the Black Sea and Mediterranean. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew certification pose risks to safety, the environment, or compliance with international maritime conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Kdz.eregli until the identified deficiencies are addressed and authorities are satisfied that it meets the required standards for release.
