General Cargo Ship ALYA BEREN Detained in Constanta

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ALYA BEREN (IMO 8802466) has been detained at the Romanian port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime, carried out on 27 Aug 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 27 deficiencies aboard the 2,331 gross tonnage ship, of which 18 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the outstanding issues are rectified. The high number of detainable deficiencies relative to the total indicates significant shortcomings identified across multiple areas of the ship's condition and operation. The ALYA BEREN sails under the flag of Comoros (KN) and is managed under the ISM Code by Atlas Shipping BV. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew certification poses a risk to safety, security, or the environment, and the ship will not be permitted to depart until it demonstrates compliance with applicable international conventions. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed. The Paris MoU maintains records of such detentions as part of its broader effort to monitor vessel safety standards across signatory ports in Europe and the North Atlantic.
