Tanzania-Flagged General Cargo Ship DAN Detained in Mombasa

The general cargo/multi-purpose vessel DAN (IMO 8415160), flying the flag of Tanzania, was detained at the port of Mombasa following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 25 Aug 2026 under the Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding (Indian MoU). Inspectors recorded a total of 14 deficiencies during the examination, one of which was classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issue is rectified. The report does not specify the nature of the detainable deficiency or the remaining findings. The vessel's ISM company is listed as SLA MARITIME CO SA. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that a ship poses a risk to safety, security, the environment, or crew welfare, and the vessel is typically required to address the identified deficiencies and pass a follow-up inspection before being permitted to depart. No further details regarding the vessel's release or repair timeline have been disclosed.
