Tug ANEMOS Detained After Inspection in Constanta

The tug ANEMOS (IMO 9577472), flagged in Greece, was detained following a Port State Control inspection carried out in Constanta on 12 Oct 2026, under the Black Sea MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies during the examination, though none were classified as detainable deficiencies under the applicable criteria. Despite this, the vessel was detained pending rectification of the identified issues. The ANEMOS is a small tug with a gross tonnage of 298 and a deadweight of 255 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Nemeca MAE, which bears responsibility for addressing the deficiencies before the tug can be released to resume operations. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify compliance with international maritime safety, pollution prevention and labour standards. Detentions, even in the absence of deficiencies formally rated as detainable, reflect the discretion of port authorities to hold vessels until outstanding concerns are resolved. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed.
