Bulk Carrier YAMAN Detained in Gdynia After Inspection

The bulk carrier YAMAN (IMO 9504944) was detained at the Polish port of Gdynia following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 12 Jan 2026, according to a detention report. Inspectors recorded nine deficiencies during the examination, of which five were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship, flagged in Tuvalu, has a gross tonnage of 14,912 and is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by TQ Ship Management Denizcilik. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough that the ship is considered unfit to proceed to sea without posing a risk to the vessel, its crew or the environment. The vessel will remain under detention in Gdynia until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of Paris MoU inspectors and the ship is cleared to resume operations. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies were disclosed in the report.
