Panama-Flagged Cargo Ship FAVORI Detained in Tekirdag

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel FAVORI (IMO 8852033) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 24 Sep 2026 at the Turkish port of Tekirdag, under the Mediterranean MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 14 deficiencies during the examination, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the identified issues are rectified. The FAVORI, flagged in Panama, has a gross tonnage of 4,199 and is managed under the ISM Code by GUNES SHIPPING & TRADING LTD. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the flag state or classification society confirms the faults have been addressed. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies have been released. The vessel will remain under detention in Tekirdag pending verification of corrective actions and clearance by the relevant authorities.
