Bulk Carrier CRESTY Detained Under Paris MoU Inspection

The bulk carrier CRESTY (IMO 9637143), flying the flag of Cyprus, has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 10 Sep 2026 at the port of Relance under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection identified five deficiencies in total, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issue is rectified and verified. The CRESTY has a gross tonnage of 23,433 and is managed under the ISM Code by Navarone SA. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detentions are imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, requiring corrective action before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. No further details regarding the nature of the detainable deficiency or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of inspections carried out under the Paris MoU framework, which regularly publishes detention data as part of its efforts to monitor substandard shipping across the region.
