General Cargo Ship DANIA Detained in Tulcea After Inspection

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel DANIA (IMO 7419200) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection in Tulcea on 30 Jan 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. Inspectors recorded 28 deficiencies in total, of which 16 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The DANIA, flagged in Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN), has a gross tonnage of 3,885. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by African A Marine Ltd, which is responsible for ensuring the ship's compliance with safety and operational standards. The high number of detainable deficiencies found during the inspection indicates significant shortcomings relative to international safety, pollution prevention or crew welfare standards enforced under the Paris MoU regime. Vessels detained under this framework are required to rectify all identified deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before being permitted to resume operations and depart port. Port State Control detentions of this scale typically draw scrutiny from flag state administrations and classification societies, as repeated or severe deficiencies can affect a vessel's and operator's inspection history and risk profile within regional port state control databases. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed in the report.
