General Cargo Ship CAPTAIN OMAR Detained in Gemlik

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel CAPTAIN OMAR (IMO 9030333) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Mediterranean MoU at the port of Gemlik on 20 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 32 deficiencies, nine of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending corrective action. The ship, flagged under KN (Comoros), has a gross tonnage of 3,125 and is managed by ISM company Margab Castle Maritime Co Ltd. Port State Control regimes such as the Mediterranean MoU conduct inspections to verify that ships calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are judged serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, and the ship is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details on the specific nature of the 32 deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Mediterranean MoU for 2026.
