General Cargo Ship VOLODYMYR VOROBYOV Detained in Tekirdag

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel VOLODYMYR VOROBYOV (IMO 7945857) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at the port of Tekirdag on 23 Dec 2025, under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU) regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 18 deficiencies during the examination, of which six were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel, flagged in Cameroon, has a gross tonnage of 2,466 and is managed under ISM by ONYX GEMI ISLETMECILIGI. Port State Control inspections under regional MoU frameworks such as the Med MoU are designed to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour conventions, including SOLAS, MARPOL and the ILO Maritime Labour Convention. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment. The vessel will remain under detention in Tekirdag until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of inspectors and clearance is granted for departure. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
