What Crew Members Say About Neco-K

On September 11, 2026, the 'Neci K' faced detention in Galati due to five significant deficiencies. The inspections highlighted critical issues, including the safety of navigation with a non-functional signalling lamp (IMO 10110), operational challenges with propulsion and auxiliary machinery (IMO 13108), and concerns over pollution prevention specifically related to the Marpol Annex IV sewage treatment plant (IMO 14402). Additionally, several aspects of the ISM Code were found lacking (IMO 15150), and deficiencies related to emergency systems, particularly the emergency fire pump and its associated piping (IMO 4102), were noted. After addressing these issues, the vessel was released on September 15, 2026.

On January 21, 2020, the bulk carrier Neco K. faced scrutiny during a port state control inspection at the bustling port of Thessaloniki. Following the inspection, port state control inspectors determined that the vessel exhibited significant deficiencies, leading to its detention under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This action aligns with the European directive outlined in Annex 'X' of CM 2009/16 / EC aimed at enhancing maritime safety. As of January 24, 2020, the Neco K. remained impounded in port, awaiting further assessments and necessary rectifications.
