Bulk Carrier SAFEEN AL NASR Detained in Trieste

The bulk carrier SAFEEN AL NASR (IMO 9612296) was detained at the Italian port of Trieste following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 10 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded nine deficiencies in total, four of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The Marshall Islands-flagged ship, with a gross tonnage of 22,850, is managed under the ISM Code by GFS Ship Management FZE. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed in the report. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment or crew certification pose a risk to safety, the environment or living and working conditions on board, and that the deficiencies are serious enough to prevent the ship from proceeding to sea. The Paris MoU covers port state control inspections across Europe and the North Atlantic, aiming to eliminate substandard shipping through a harmonised inspection regime among member maritime authorities. The vessel will remain detained in Trieste until the responsible flag state and classification society confirm that the identified deficiencies have been addressed and the ship meets the required safety and operational standards for release.
