Greek-Flagged Tug ANEMOS Detained in Constanta

The tug ANEMOS (IMO 9577472), flagged in Greece, was detained by Port State Control authorities in Constanta, Romania, following an inspection conducted on 12 Oct 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of 10 deficiencies aboard the vessel, of which 6 were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel has a gross tonnage of 298. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control covers inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at ports across Europe and the North Atlantic, aiming to eliminate substandard shipping through a harmonised system of checks. Vessels found with serious safety, pollution-prevention, or crew welfare deficiencies can be detained until deficiencies are corrected and verified by inspectors. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The ANEMOS will remain under detention in Constanta pending resolution of the identified issues and subsequent re-inspection by port authorities.
