Paris MoU Detains General Cargo Ship OMAYA in Constanta

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel OMAYA (IMO 8408648) has been detained in the port of Constanta following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, carried out on 29 Dec 2025, uncovered 25 deficiencies in total, of which 13 were assessed as serious enough to warrant detention. The 5,586 gross tonnage ship sails under the flag of Comoros (KM) and is managed under the ISM Code by Future Maritime Co SA. Authorities have not released a detailed breakdown of the specific deficiencies identified, though the high ratio of detainable findings to total deficiencies points to significant shortcomings in the vessel's condition or operational management. Under Paris MoU procedures, a vessel is released from detention only once the responsible flag state or classification society confirms that all detainable deficiencies have been rectified to the satisfaction of inspectors. The case adds to the broader pattern of older general cargo tonnage facing heightened scrutiny from European port state control authorities. No further details on the vessel's planned departure or repair schedule have been disclosed.
