General Cargo Ship ALISUVAR MAMMADOV Detained in Istanbul

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ALISUVAR MAMMADOV (IMO 9338670) was detained in Istanbul following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Oct 2026 under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. Inspectors identified five deficiencies during the examination, all five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship, flagged in Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN) with a gross tonnage of 5,684, is managed under the ISM Code by PALMALI GEMICILIK VE ACENTELIK. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that vessels comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The vessel will remain under detention in Istanbul until the identified issues are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance.
