General Cargo Ship DIEVA Detained in Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel DIEVA (IMO 8128858) has been detained in the Turkish port of Aliaga following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 21 Oct 2026. The inspection, carried out under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime, identified 15 deficiencies, of which 10 were classified as detainable. The vessel, flagged in Cameroon, has a gross tonnage of 2,318. It is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by Fana Shipping & Trade Co Ltd. The high number of detainable deficiencies found during a single inspection points to significant shortcomings in the vessel's compliance with international safety and operational standards at the time of the check. Under Port State Control procedures, a vessel is detained when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew, or the environment, or when they indicate failures in the ship's safety management system. The vessel will remain in Aliaga until the identified deficiencies are rectified and verified by inspectors, allowing it to be cleared for onward sailing. Further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for release have not been disclosed.
