Bulk Carrier ALISIOS Detained After Port State Control Inspection

The bulk carrier ALISIOS (IMO 9474620), flying the flag of Panama, was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Indian MoU at the port of Amrun, Queensland, on 21 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 21 deficiencies during the examination, one of which was assessed as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port pending rectification. The specific nature of the detainable deficiency was not disclosed in the inspection report. The vessel's ISM Company is listed as Espalion Invesments Inc. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions, and detentions are issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment. The ALISIOS will remain under detention at Amrun until the outstanding deficiency has been addressed and verified by the relevant authority, allowing the vessel to resume operations.
