General Cargo Ship C.EPSILON Detained Under Paris MoU

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel C.EPSILON (IMO 9130212) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at Baltic Wharf on 27 Feb 2026, conducted under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 25 deficiencies on board the 2,844 gross tonnage vessel, of which 7 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship until the issues are rectified. The vessel sails under the Barbados (BB) flag and is managed under the ISM Code by EPSILON DENIZCILIK TICARET LTD. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the shortcomings have been addressed and verified by inspectors. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies, the timeline for release, or any planned repairs have been disclosed. The detention adds to the vessel's inspection history and may affect its risk profile under the Paris MoU targeting system for future port calls.
