General Cargo Ship NORAN Detained at Aliaga

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel NORAN (IMO 9175822) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at Aliaga on 19 Jan 2026, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. Inspectors recorded 20 deficiencies during the port call, of which 5 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The specific nature of the deficiencies was not disclosed in the inspection record. NORAN is a 5,002 gross tonnage general cargo/multipurpose ship flying the flag of KN (Saint Kitts and Nevis). The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by PEWTER MARINE CORP., which is responsible for ensuring compliance with the safety management system and addressing the deficiencies identified by inspectors before the vessel can be released. Detentions under the Med MoU framework are issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, crew, or the environment. The vessel will remain under detention at Aliaga until the port state control authority confirms that the identified deficiencies have been resolved and the ship meets the required international safety and operational standards.
