General Cargo Ship YALISSA Detained in Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel YALISSA (IMO 7110995) was detained at the Turkish port of Aliaga following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Mediterranean MOU on 29 Jan 2026. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies in total, of which three were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel, flagged in Comoros (KM), has a gross tonnage of 2,900 and is managed under the ISM Code by Rimas Shipping Ltd. Port State Control detentions are imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when the vessel does not comply with applicable international conventions. The vessel will remain detained at Aliaga until the detainable deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the Mediterranean MOU inspectorate and clearance to sail is granted. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified during the inspection, as well as the timeline for the vessel's release, have not been disclosed.
