General Cargo Ship IBRAHIM B Detained in Iskenderun

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel IBRAHIM B (IMO 8412390) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Iskenderun on 25 Dec 2025, conducted under the Mediterranean MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies in total, of which six were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The IBRAHIM B is flagged under KN (Comoros) and has a gross tonnage of 2,882. The vessel is managed by FISHER SHIP MANAGEMENT CO LTD, which is listed as the ISM company responsible for its safety management operations. 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, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the identified faults are rectified and verified by the relevant authority. The case adds to the record of Mediterranean MOU detentions for the period and will likely be reflected in future port state performance statistics for both the flag state and the managing company. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or the timeline for release have been disclosed.
