General Cargo Ship HAJ YEHIA Detained in Thessaloniki

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HAJ YEHIA (IMO 9152466) was detained at the port of Thessaloniki following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 25 Sep 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of seven deficiencies during the examination, three of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship, flagged in Palau, has a gross tonnage of 14,661 and is managed under the ISM Code by Nelly Shipping Co-Egy. Detentions under the Paris MoU are imposed when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when deficiencies are not in compliance with applicable international conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Thessaloniki until the identified deficiencies are rectified and the port state control authority is satisfied that the ship meets the required safety and operational standards before being cleared to resume its voyage. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's planned itinerary have been released by the inspecting authority at this time.
