Bulk Carrier DYNAMIC M Detained at Port of Samsun

The bulk carrier DYNAMIC M (IMO 9114610) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Samsun on 25 Oct 2026, under the Black Sea MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 11 deficiencies during the examination, although none were individually classified as detainable. The vessel, flagged in Belize, has a gross tonnage of 17,879 and a deadweight of 28,760 DWT. It is managed under the ISM Code by Merry Enterprises Denizcilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd Sti. Despite the absence of detainable deficiencies on an individual basis, the cumulative findings from the inspection led authorities to detain the ship pending rectification. Port State Control inspections under regional MoU frameworks such as the Black Sea MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detentions can result from a single serious deficiency or an accumulation of lesser issues that collectively raise concerns about a vessel's seaworthiness or compliance status. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been released. The vessel will remain in port until the issues identified during the inspection are addressed to the satisfaction of the relevant port state control authority.
