General Cargo Ship KARINA Detained at Tekirdag

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel KARINA (IMO 8703270) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at the Turkish port of Tekirdag on 10 Sep 2026, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MOU). Inspectors identified 19 deficiencies during the examination, of which 5 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are addressed and corrected to satisfaction. The KARINA, flagged in Togo, has a gross tonnage of 5,755 and is managed under the ISM Code by Alliance Shipping Ltd-Sey. The vessel will remain detained until the outstanding deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable international safety and operational standards. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose risks to the safety of the crew, the vessel, or the environment, requiring the ship to be held until corrective action is verified before it is permitted to resume operations.
