General Cargo Ship ALYA BEREN Detained in Constanta

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ALYA BEREN (IMO 8802466) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the Romanian port of Constanta on 27 Aug 2026, according to a Black Sea MOU detention report. Inspectors recorded a total of 27 deficiencies during the examination, though the report lists zero deficiencies formally classified as detainable grounds. Despite this, the vessel remains under detention pending resolution of the issues identified. No further breakdown of the specific deficiencies has been disclosed in the report. ALYA BEREN sails under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis, with a gross tonnage of 2,331 and a deadweight of 3,262 tonnes. The ship's International Safety Management (ISM) company is listed as Atlas Shipping BV. Port State Control detentions are used by maritime authorities to prevent substandard vessels from continuing operations until safety, structural or documentation deficiencies are addressed. The Black Sea MOU coordinates such inspections among member states to enforce international maritime safety and environmental standards. Further updates on the vessel's release are expected once corrective actions are verified by port authorities.
