General Cargo Ship AYSHA M Detained in Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel AYSHA M (IMO 8511146) was detained at the Turkish port of Aliaga following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 09 Oct 2026 under the Mediterranean MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 17 deficiencies during the examination, of which four were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The ship, flagged in Comoros (KM) and measuring 4,285 gross tonnage, is managed under the ISM Code by SATA CHARTERING AND SHIPPING CO. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention order indicates that inspectors identified conditions serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel will not be permitted to continue its voyage until the detainable deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the flag state or the inspecting authority. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies, the vessel's planned remedial actions, and an expected release date have not been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Mediterranean MOU in 2026.
