Oil Tanker LESLEY CT Detained in Constanta Under Paris MoU

The oil tanker LESLEY CT (IMO 9153422) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 11 Nov 2026 in Constanta, Romania, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 15 deficiencies, six of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The LESLEY CT is a Panama-flagged oil tanker with a gross tonnage of 3,630. The vessel is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by Systenar Shipmanagement Ltd, which carries responsibility for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be cleared to sail. Detentions under the Paris MoU occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when non-compliance with international maritime conventions is severe enough to warrant the vessel being held until corrective action is taken. The specific nature of the 15 deficiencies recorded during the Constanta inspection has not been detailed in the released report. The vessel will remain under detention in Constanta until the responsible authorities confirm that all outstanding deficiencies, particularly the six detainable items, have been rectified in accordance with Paris MoU requirements.
