Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of A.m.k.-Marin

On April 8, 2026, the vessel A.M.K. Marin faced detention in Rize due to a staggering 15 deficiencies. Key issues included invalid certificates for the master and officers, absence of the Safety Management Certificate, and a garbage record book that did not meet regulatory standards. Fire safety concerns were highlighted, with crew training found lacking and means of escape reported as blocked. Further safety inspections revealed that personal equipment and ropes were not up to par. Life-saving appliances were also flagged, as lifeboats were not ready for use. Communication systems were critically assessed, with issues related to the Satellite EPIRB and inability to receive marine safety information. Navigational safety was compromised due to outdated charts and inadequate monitoring of the vessel's passage plan, along with unupdated nautical publications. Moreover, structural conditions were alarming, with reports of cracking on the decks, while the ISM certificate was also deemed unsatisfactory. Following these inspections, the A.M.K. Marin was released the next day, April 9, and set sail towards Tuapse. This incident marks a troubling pattern, as the vessel had previously been detained on January 14, 2025, in Zonguldak for 17 deficiencies over a four-day period. Maritime authorities continue to emphasize the importance of compliance to ensure safety at sea.
