General Cargo Ship DREMORA 2 Detained in Tekirdag

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel DREMORA 2 (IMO 9471800) has been detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection in Tekirdag, Turkey, under the Mediterranean MOU regime. The inspection, conducted on 24 Dec 2025, identified a total of 15 deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, leading to the vessel's detention in port. DREMORA 2 is flagged under KN (Comoros) and has a gross tonnage of 4,089. The ship is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by Sarfo Denizcilik ve Ticaret AS, which bears responsibility for ensuring the vessel's compliance with international safety and operational standards. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors determine that a vessel's deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are rectified. The Mediterranean MOU is one of several regional agreements under which port authorities conduct inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at their ports to verify compliance with international maritime conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Tekirdag until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of inspecting authorities and clearance for departure is granted. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
