Bulk Carrier MALLIKA NAREE Detained in Venice

The bulk carrier MALLIKA NAREE (IMO 9354739) was detained by Port State Control authorities in Venice following an inspection conducted on 13 Feb 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies aboard the vessel, of which six were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel, flagged in Thailand, has a gross tonnage of 19,891 and is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by Great Circle Shipping Agency. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at regional ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and seafarer welfare. A detention order is issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies found pose a risk serious enough to warrant keeping the vessel from sailing until corrective action is taken and verified. The MALLIKA NAREE will remain in Venice until the detainable deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and the vessel is cleared to resume operations.
