General Cargo Ship LADY EVA Detained in Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LADY EVA (IMO 9008110) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Aliaga, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MOU) regime. The inspection, conducted on 30 Sep 2026, identified 12 deficiencies, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship until the issues are rectified. The LADY EVA is flagged to Togo (TG) and has a gross tonnage of 4,860. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Florence Shipping & Marine, which is responsible for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection and securing the vessel's release. 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 standards set out in conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the ISM Code. A detention is imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the flag state or classification society confirms the problems have been resolved. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Med MOU framework for 2026.
