On January 24, 2025, the cargo ship 'Shelekov' was detained at the Karasu port following an inspection that uncovered 22 significant deficiencies. Out of these, 19 were classified as critical reasons for detention, including issues with essential certificates and onboard safety equipment. The deficiencies identified included the absence of the Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate, and the International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate. Furthermore, the inspection revealed that logbooks and critical entries were missing, and the vessel's lifeboats had not been properly maintained. Additional concerns related to inadequate lighting in accommodation areas, improper insulation of pipes and wires, and issues with accident prevention measures were also noted. Structural integrity was a significant concern, with reports of corrosion on the hull and decks, damaged closing devices and watertight doors, as well as non-compliance in the management of oily mixtures from machinery spaces. After addressing these severe deficiencies, the 'Shelekov' was released from detention on January 28 and subsequently departed from Istanbul for further orders.
