General Cargo Ship TOYA Detained in Tulcea

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel TOYA (IMO 9368106) was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Tulcea on 09 Jan 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. Inspectors recorded 28 deficiencies during the examination, of which 9 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The ship, flagged NR and with a gross tonnage of 1,972, is managed under the ISM Code by Enka Denizcilik ve Ticaret Ltd. The Paris MoU operates a regional port state control regime across European waters and parts of the North Atlantic, inspecting foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew or environment, and release is contingent on the owner or operator demonstrating that the underlying faults have been corrected to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed. TOYA remains detained in Tulcea pending completion of remedial action and a follow-up inspection by Paris MoU officials.
