General Cargo Ship RAZOUK Detained in Constanta After Inspection

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel RAZOUK (IMO 9162320) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection in Constanta, Romania, under the Paris MoU regime. The inspection, conducted on 10 Dec 2025, identified 41 deficiencies, of which 14 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The RAZOUK is a Comoros-flagged (KM) ship with a gross tonnage of 6,448. Its ISM management company is listed as Almasri Shipping Management SA. The high number of deficiencies recorded during the inspection points to multiple areas of non-compliance with international safety, operational or structural standards, though the specific nature of the faults has not been disclosed in the inspection summary. Under the Paris MoU framework, vessels are detained when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to safety, health or the environment, requiring rectification before the ship is permitted to continue its voyage. The detention of the RAZOUK adds to the vessel's inspection history and will be factored into future risk assessments under the Paris MoU's targeting system, which determines the frequency of inspections for ships calling at member ports. No further details regarding the release timeline or corrective actions have been provided.
