Bulk Carrier Triton Wind I Detained in Gemlik Over Deficiencies

The bulk carrier TRITON WIND I (IMO 9621003) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at Gemlik, Turkey, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU). The inspection, carried out on 05 Feb 2026, identified 15 total deficiencies, six of which were classified as detainable. The Liberia-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 24,196, is managed under the ISM Company Paloma Shipping Corp. Port State Control authorities ordered the detention after determining that the identified deficiencies posed sufficient concern to restrict the ship's departure until corrective actions are completed. Detentions under the Med MoU framework are issued when inspectors find that a vessel's condition, equipment or crew certification fails to meet international safety, pollution prevention or labour standards to a degree that makes the ship unseaworthy or otherwise unsafe to proceed to sea. The specific nature of the six detainable deficiencies aboard TRITON WIND I has not been disclosed in the inspection record. The vessel will remain detained at Gemlik until the flag state, classification society and port authorities confirm that the necessary repairs or corrective measures have been verified and the ship is cleared to resume operations.
