General Cargo Ship MINI STAR Detained in Marina di Carrara

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel MINI STAR (IMO 8215613) was detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Paris MoU, conducted at Marina di Carrara on 19 Dec 2025. Inspectors recorded a total of 17 deficiencies, eight of which were classified as detainable, prompting the vessel's detention pending corrective action. The MINI STAR, flagged in Saint Kitts and Nevis (KN), has a gross tonnage of 6,284. The vessel's ISM company is listed as Alexander Navigation Inc, which bears responsibility for ensuring the ship meets international safety management standards under its Document of Compliance. Under Paris MoU procedures, a vessel is detained when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to safety, health, or the environment, or when they breach applicable international conventions. Detained ships are required to rectify all outstanding deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before being permitted to resume operations and depart port. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's current status have been disclosed. The case remains part of the Paris MoU's regional database used to track compliance records of ships calling at ports within its member states.
