General Cargo Ship ZEG GLORY Detained in Iskenderun

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ZEG GLORY (IMO 9152571) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 24 Feb 2026 at the Turkish port of Iskenderun, under the authority of the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MOU). Inspectors recorded a total of 18 deficiencies during the examination, of which five were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending rectification. The vessel, flagged in Comoros (KM) and measuring 2,992 gross tonnage, is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) code by TAURUS MARITIME SHIPMANAGEMENT LLC. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged ships calling at member ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are resolved and verified by inspectors. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Med MOU framework for 2026.
