General Cargo Ship HASAN Detained in Piraeus Under Paris MoU

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HASAN (IMO 9016179) was detained in Piraeus following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 27 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded eight deficiencies on board, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The HASAN, flagged in Sierra Leone with a gross tonnage of 4,382, is managed under the ISM Code by Safe Sea Services Sarl. Details of the specific deficiencies identified have not been disclosed, though the number of detainable items indicates the inspection uncovered issues serious enough to restrict the vessel's departure until corrective action is verified. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged ships calling at European ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detentions are imposed when deficiencies are considered a threat to the safety of the ship, its crew or the environment, and vessels are typically released only after the flag state or classification society confirms that the identified faults have been rectified. No timeline for the vessel's release has been provided.
