Bulk Carrier AGHIA MARINA Detained in Sorel

The bulk carrier AGHIA MARINA (IMO 9577604) was detained on 27 Oct 2026 following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Sorel under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 16 deficiencies on board, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting the vessel's detention until corrective action is completed. The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel has a gross tonnage of 24,168 and is managed under the ISM Code by Anbros Maritime SA. No further details on the nature of the detainable deficiency have been disclosed in the inspection report. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by authorities. The AGHIA MARINA will remain under detention at Sorel pending resolution of the outstanding deficiency, after which it will be subject to a follow-up inspection before being cleared to resume operations.
