Bulk Carrier DINA T Detained in Pozzallo After PSC Inspection

The bulk carrier DINA T (IMO 9303388) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at Pozzallo under the Paris MoU regime, carried out on 07 Jan 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 31 deficiencies, of which 11 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The DINA T is a Belize-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 19,885, built under IMO number 9303388. The vessel is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by GMZ Ship Management Co SA, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be released to resume operations. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at ports within a MoU region comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare. A high number of detainable deficiencies, as recorded in this case, typically indicates significant shortcomings requiring corrective action and follow-up verification by port authorities before the detention order is lifted. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed.
