General Cargo Ship LADY MIA Detained in Black Sea Port State Control

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LADY MIA (IMO 9546318) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 28 Sep 2026 at the port of Kdz.eregli, under the authority of the Black Sea MOU. Inspectors recorded a total of 24 deficiencies during the examination, though the report lists zero deficiencies classified as detainable. Despite this, the vessel has been held in port pending resolution of the issues identified. LADY MIA sails under the flag of Palau and is managed under the ISM Code by Mia Seaways Ltd. The ship has a gross tonnage of 2,926 and a deadweight capacity of 4,202 DWT, placing it among the smaller general cargo vessels subject to routine port state inspections. Port State Control regimes such as the Black Sea MOU carry out these inspections to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detentions are typically imposed when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to affect the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is required to rectify the outstanding issues before port authorities grant clearance to resume its voyage.
