General Cargo Ship COSKUNLAR 2 Detained at Constanta

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel COSKUNLAR 2 (IMO 8943351) has been detained at the Romanian port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 05 Nov 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 19 deficiencies on board the 1,243 gross tonnage vessel, of which nine were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel sails under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN) and is managed under the ISM Code by Of Shipping Ltd. The Paris MoU, which coordinates maritime safety inspections across European ports and Canada, applies a risk-based targeting system to identify vessels for inspection, with detentions issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the environment. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed. The vessel will remain under detention at Constanta until the responsible parties address the identified deficiencies to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and clearance is granted for departure.
