Ship detained 64 days

Apr 23, 2026 22:59

### Title: "Zeebony" Held in Detention for 64 Days Over Serious Deficiencies In a significant maritime incident, the "Zeebony" was detained on January 28, 2026, at the Port of Constanta, Romania. The vessel faced scrutiny due to 28 reported deficiencies, with ten classified as critical enough to warrant its detention. The alarming deficiencies included issues with essential certificates and documents, such as the absence of the Security Awareness Training and designated security duties training certificate. Additionally, the ship lacked a valid Certification for Rating for Watchkeeping and an invalid Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance. Safety measures were also under fire, with the fire pump and its associated piping not meeting required standards. Structural integrity concerns emerged as well, with visible corrosion on the decks and cracks in the bulkheads indicating potential safety hazards. Labor conditions were similarly compromised due to damaged access features on the vessel. Emergency preparedness was called into question, as the crew lacked proper training for mandatory fire drills. Furthermore, crucial aspects related to water and weathertight conditions displayed crack issues in the bulwarks and freeing ports, and the "ISM" certificate did not meet the necessary requirements. Following an extensive investigation and remediation process, the "Zeebony" was finally released on April 1, 2026. The vessel departed from Constanta on April 5 and was en route to Istanbul, arriving at its destination on April 10. This case highlights the importance of stringent safety and compliance measures in maritime operations and serves as a reminder for vessels to maintain high standards to ensure the safety of both crew and cargo.
