What Crew Members Say About Baron

On August 1, 2026, the merchant vessel 'Baron' faced detention at Bartin port due to the identification of eight significant deficiencies. The detainable deficiencies included crucial safety issues related to various aspects: 'Safety of Navigation' deficiencies related to charts and voyage monitoring (IMO 10111(2) and 10135), propulsion malfunctions affecting the main engine (IMO 13101), failures in the International Safety Management (ISM) system (IMO 15150), and water/weather-tight conditions with respect to cargo and hatchways (IMO 3104). Furthermore, there were alarming emergencies concerning emergency lighting, batteries, switches (IMO 4103), fire drill compliance (IMO 4109), and radio communication backup energy sources (IMO 5114), all marked as not the responsibility of the Recognized Organization (RO). Once the ship’s crew rectified these issues, the 'Baron' was cleared to set sail again on August 8. She departed Bartin and continued her voyage, arriving in Constanta on August 10.
