Bulk Carrier ALICIA Detained in Rostock After PSC Inspection

The bulk carrier ALICIA (IMO 9663623) was detained in the port of Rostock following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 08 Jan 2026, according to a Paris MoU detention report. The inspection identified 16 deficiencies in total, of which six were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. ALICIA is a Liberia-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 35,812. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Unimor Shipping Agency Varna, which holds responsibility for the ship's safety and operational management in accordance with international maritime regulations. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies found aboard a vessel pose a risk to safety, security, the environment, or the welfare of crew members, rendering the ship unfit to proceed to sea until corrective action is taken. The Paris MoU, covering ports across Europe and the North Atlantic, conducts regular inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports as part of broader international efforts to enforce maritime safety and environmental standards. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The detention remains on record pending resolution of the identified issues.
