General Cargo Ship LADY SHAM Detained in Gemlik

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel LADY SHAM (IMO 9171383) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Gemlik, conducted under the Mediterranean MOU (Med MOU) on 31 Dec 2025. Inspectors recorded a total of 25 deficiencies, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The ship, flagged in San Marino, has a gross tonnage of 6,354 and is managed under the ISM Code by Perama Shipmanagement Ltd. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at MOU member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the deficiencies are addressed and verified by inspectors. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the detainable deficiencies or the expected timeline for the vessel's release. Further updates are expected once the vessel operator completes corrective actions and the Med MOU authorities confirm compliance.
