General Cargo Ship Sormovskiy 121 Detained in Burgas

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel SORMOVSKIY 121 (IMO 8133578) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection in Burgas on 10 Nov 2026, under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 13 deficiencies, of which 10 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The ship, flying the flag of Comoros (KM), has a gross tonnage of 2,466 and is managed under the ISM Code by Trimorya Shipping & Trade Co. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards set out in conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the ISM Code. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels held under the Paris MoU framework, which monitors ship safety performance across European and North Atlantic ports.
