General Cargo Ship ALYA BEREN Detained in Bandirma

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ALYA BEREN was detained following a Port State Control inspection carried out on 25 Sep 2026 at the Turkish port of Bandirma, under the Mediterranean MOU (Med MOU) regime. Inspectors identified a total of eight deficiencies, five of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The ship, flying the flag of Comoros (KN), has a gross tonnage of 2,331 and is managed under ISM by Staron Shipping SA. The vessel, built with IMO number 8802466, remains under detention until the identified deficiencies are corrected and verified by port state control officials. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release timeline have been disclosed. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until compliance with international maritime safety standards is confirmed.
