General Cargo Ship HALIVER Detained in Varna Over Deficiencies

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HALIVER (IMO 8133566), flying the flag of Tanzania, was detained at the port of Varna following a Paris MoU inspection conducted on 16 Dec 2025. Port State Control inspectors recorded a total of 24 deficiencies on board, of which 15 were classified as grounds for detention. The 2,478 gross tonnage vessel remains held in Varna pending rectification of the identified deficiencies before it can be cleared to resume operations. Details of the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report. The ship's ISM company is listed as Guha Insaat Mermer Madencilik. Detentions under the Paris MoU regime are triggered when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and vessels are not permitted to depart until such issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the relevant maritime authority. The case adds to the record of substandard ships identified under the Paris MoU inspection regime, which monitors vessel compliance with international safety, security and environmental conventions across European and North Atlantic ports.
