The general cargo/multipurpose vessel JAMILAH (IMO 9133185) was detained by port state control authorities following an inspection at the Turkish port of Iskenderun on 15 Dec 2025, carried out under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU). Inspectors recorded 21 deficiencies during the examination, of which 7 were classified as detainable, prompting the authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The specific nature of the deficiencies was not detailed in the report. JAMILAH is a 6,263 gross tonnage vessel flying the flag of Comoros (KM) and is managed under the ISM Code by JAMILAH MARITIME CO LLC. The vessel will remain detained until the outstanding safety or operational deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port state control officers and the ship is cleared for release. Detentions under the Med MoU framework are issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew, or the marine environment, requiring the vessel to undergo corrective action before continuing its voyage. No further details regarding the vessel's release or repair timeline have been disclosed.
