Paris MoU Detains General Cargo Ship Derya Aytekin

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel DERYA AYTEKIN (IMO 9136864) has been detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at Newport (Gwent) under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, carried out on 31 Dec 2025, identified a total of 48 deficiencies, of which 13 were classified as detainable. The Panama-flagged vessel has a gross tonnage of 4,358. Its ISM-responsible company is listed as SU DERYASI DENIZCILIK VE TIC. The high number of detainable deficiencies found during a single inspection points to significant shortcomings in the ship's compliance with international safety and operational standards at the time of the port call. Under Paris MoU procedures, a detention order remains in force until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of inspectors, after which the vessel may be cleared to resume operations. Detentions of this scale typically require extensive remedial work and follow-up verification before a ship is released to continue trading. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or a release date have been provided.
