General Cargo Ship ATA 2 Detained in Ravenna

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel ATA 2 (IMO 9387669) has been detained at the Italian port of Ravenna following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU on 24 Dec 2025. Inspectors recorded a total of 33 deficiencies, of which 10 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the identified issues are rectified. The ship, which flies the flag of Panama and has a gross tonnage of 4,632, is managed under the ISM Code by Safir Gemi Tasimacilik Sanayi. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention order, such as the one issued for ATA 2, indicates that inspectors found deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, barring departure until corrective action is confirmed. The vessel will remain under detention at Ravenna pending verification by Paris MoU inspectors that the outstanding deficiencies have been addressed. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed.
