Bulk Carrier DAYTONA-H Detained at Iskenderun

The bulk carrier DAYTONA-H (IMO 8520836) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Iskenderun on 17 Dec 2025, under the Mediterranean MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 27 total deficiencies, seven of which were assessed as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port pending corrective action. The DAYTONA-H sails under the Comoros (KM) flag, has a gross tonnage of 8,254, and is managed under the ISM Code by SATA CHARTERING AND SHIPPING CO. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to continue its voyage. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed. The vessel remains detained at Iskenderun pending completion of the required repairs and a follow-up inspection by the Mediterranean MoU authorities.
