Bulk Carrier AM PURPOSE Detained in Ravenna

The bulk carrier AM PURPOSE (IMO 9455387) has been detained in the Italian port of Ravenna following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 21 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 28 deficiencies aboard the vessel, of which six were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship until the issues are rectified. The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel has a gross tonnage of 22,358 and is managed under the ISM Code by SELANDIA SHIP MANAGEMENT-SNG. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework are issued when deficiencies found during an inspection are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when they indicate non-compliance with international maritime conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Ravenna until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port state control officers and the ship is cleared to resume operations. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
