General Cargo Ship GULSUM D Detained at Gemlik

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel GULSUM D (IMO 9142643) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the Turkish port of Gemlik on 22 Oct 2026, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. Inspectors recorded a total of eight deficiencies aboard the 3,782 gross tonnage ship, of which two were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship sails under the flag of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (VC) and is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by NURMAR SHIPPING LTD. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, requiring rectification before the ship is permitted to resume its voyage. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's planned release date have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels flagged for non-compliance under the Med MoU, which coordinates port state inspections across Mediterranean-region ports to enforce international maritime safety and environmental standards.
