General Cargo Ship ENAS H Detained in Canakkale

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ENAS H (IMO 9610822) was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Canakkale on 07 Jan 2026, conducted under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU). Inspectors recorded a total of 23 deficiencies, of which 8 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flagged in Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN), has a gross tonnage of 6,503 and is managed under the ISM Code by New Paris Shipping Ltd. 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 to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to continue its voyage. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified or the timeline for the vessel's release. The case adds to the record of Med MoU detentions logged for the period, with authorities expected to confirm the vessel's status once outstanding issues have been resolved and a follow-up inspection completed.
