General Cargo Ship GELMOND 2 Detained in Porto Nogaro

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel GELMOND 2 (IMO 9403487) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU at Porto Nogaro on 08 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded 11 deficiencies in total, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The vessel, flagged in Comoros (KN), has a gross tonnage of 3,923 and is managed under the ISM Code by Sarfo Denizcilik ve Ticaret AS. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed in the inspection report. Detention under the Paris MoU framework occurs when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The Paris MoU coordinates port state control activities among maritime authorities in Europe and the North Atlantic, targeting substandard shipping through risk-based inspection regimes. The GELMOND 2 will remain under detention at Porto Nogaro until the identified deficiencies are addressed and verified by port state control officers, allowing the vessel to be cleared for departure.
