Tanzania-Flagged Bulk Carrier AMIR 1 Detained in Constanta

The bulk carrier AMIR 1 (IMO 9571337) was detained at the Romanian port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection carried out under the Paris MoU on 25 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 61 deficiencies, 37 of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The AMIR 1 is a Tanzania-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 2,976. Its ISM company is listed as Daryadelan Shipping Ltd. The high number of deficiencies identified during the inspection points to significant shortcomings across multiple areas of the vessel's safety, operational and structural compliance, though the specific categories of deficiency were not detailed in the inspection record. Detentions under the Paris MoU occur when inspectors determine that a ship's condition, equipment or crew certification pose a risk to safety, the environment or compliance with international maritime conventions. The vessel will remain under detention in Constanta until the deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms the ship meets the required standards for release. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed.
