General Cargo Ship ONUR Detained After Inspection in Kocaeli

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ONUR (IMO 8853594) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection in Kocaeli on 24 Dec 2025. The inspection, carried out under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU), identified 25 total deficiencies, of which six were classified as detainable. The ONUR, flagged in Comoros (KN) and measuring 2,571 gross tonnage, is managed under the ISM Code by ONYX GEMI ISLETMECILIGI. Port State Control detentions are imposed when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, preventing the vessel from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified. No further details have been disclosed regarding the specific nature of the detainable deficiencies or the vessel's current operational status. Under Med MoU procedures, detained vessels are subject to follow-up inspection before being permitted to resume service, and records of such detentions are typically made public as part of regional port state control transparency measures.
