General Cargo Ship Princess Amneh Detained in Gulluk

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel PRINCESS AMNEH (IMO 9340269) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) at the port of Gulluk on 14 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded 23 total deficiencies aboard the 2,546 gross tonnage vessel, of which 15 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The vessel sails under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN) and is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by H&P Ship Management Co SA. Port State Control regimes such as the Med MoU conduct inspections to verify that foreign-flagged ships calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A high number of detainable deficiencies, as recorded on PRINCESS AMNEH, typically indicates significant shortcomings across multiple areas of the vessel's condition or operation, which can range from structural and equipment failures to lapses in safety management procedures. The vessel will remain detained at Gulluk until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of Port State Control officers and the ship is cleared to resume operations. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
