Bulk Carrier SEA ABIGAIL Detained at Aqaba

The bulk carrier SEA ABIGAIL (IMO 9237187) was detained at the port of Aqaba following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 01 Dec 2025 under the Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding (Med MoU). The Panama-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 29,865, was found to have 15 deficiencies during the inspection, one of which was deemed detainable, resulting in the ship being held in port. Further details on the specific nature of the detainable deficiency have not been disclosed. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by SEA CASTLE SHIP MANAGEMENT PTE. Port State Control inspections are routinely carried out to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour conventions, and detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment. The SEA ABIGAIL will remain under detention at Aqaba until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of port state control authorities and the vessel is cleared to resume operations.
