General Cargo Ship JAOHAR H Detained in Bartin After Inspection

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel JAOHAR H (IMO 8401511) was detained at the Turkish port of Bartin following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 04 Nov 2026 under the Black Sea MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 26 deficiencies during the examination, though none were formally classified as detainable, according to the inspection report. The Sierra Leone-flagged vessel has a gross tonnage of 3,093 and a deadweight of 4,322 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by Adnan Denizcilik ve Ticaret Ltd Sti. Despite the absence of detainable deficiencies in the formal count, port state control authorities proceeded with the detention, a decision that typically reflects concerns over the cumulative condition of the vessel or the adequacy of its safety management systems. Port State Control detentions are issued when authorities determine that a ship's deficiencies pose a risk to safety, the environment, or compliance with international maritime conventions, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. The case adds to the broader record of inspections conducted under the Black Sea MOU, which monitors compliance among vessels calling at ports in the region. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
