The vessel is identified by IMO number 9130212 and is managed under the ISM Code by Planet Gemi Isletmeciligi AS. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at regional ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detention is typically ordered when deficiencies, whether individually serious or cumulatively significant, raise concerns about a ship's seaworthiness or the safety of its crew, cargo or the marine environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by the port authority. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified aboard the SVR VENUS, nor a timeline for the vessel's release, have been disclosed.
