Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Nabiha-Star

On February 20, 2026, the 'Nabiha Star' encountered another round of detention in Aliaga, identified with a staggering total of 15 deficiencies. Among these, five were deemed serious enough to warrant the vessel's detention. The alarming points of failure included: 1) **Machinery Controls Alarm**: The machinery alarms were reported as inoperative, posing significant operational risks. 2) **Fire Safety Systems**: The fire detection and alarm systems were not properly maintained, endangering crew and vessel safety. 3) **Life Saving Appliances**: Liferafts were found improperly stowed and provisioned, jeopardizing safety compliance. 4) **Navigation Safety**: The voyage data recorder was not up to required specifications, raising concerns about navigational integrity. 5) **ISM Compliance**: The ISM certificate was discovered to be inadequate, indicating potential oversight in safety management protocols. Following this inspection, the 'Nabiha Star' was released two days later on February 22 and then made its way to Izmir Anchorage. This incident marks a troubling pattern for the vessel, as it was previously detained on July 2, 2025, in Aliaga with 22 deficiencies that resulted in a three-day hold. Subsequent checks on July 4 and July 6 also revealed additional deficiencies. As the repercussions of these safety concerns unfold, the focus remains on ensuring maritime compliance and safety standards are met for the 'Nabiha Star'.

The 'Nabiha Star' experienced significant scrutiny during inspections in Aliaga, where it was detained on July 2, 2025, due to a total of 22 deficiencies identified. Among these, three were severe enough to warrant its detention: 1) Fire safety concerns stemming from an inoperative fire detection and alarm system; 2) Inadequacies in fire safety as the means of escape were not adequately maintained; 3) An issue with the ISM certificate, which did not meet the required standards. After addressing these critical issues, the vessel was permitted to resume its journey, departing Aliaga on July 4 en route to Piraeus, Greece. However, during a subsequent port state control on July 6, an additional five deficiencies were discovered. The 'Nabiha Star' finally berthed in Misrata on July 12, highlighting ongoing compliance challenges for maritime operations in the region.

On the night of April 13, 2021, the Central Port Authority of Piraeus alerted the Port Authority of Keratsini regarding the 'Nabiha Star', a vessel traveling from Gebze to Sfax with a crew of 14 onboard. The ship experienced a malfunction in its rudder but did not seek immediate assistance. Demonstrating its resilience, the 'Nabiha Star' managed to navigate independently into Piraeus, where it dropped anchor at coordinates 37° 55.11' N and 023° 32.69' E on April 15 at approximately 11:40 p.m. Following this incident, sailing has been prohibited for the vessel until necessary repairs are completed and a seaworthiness certificate is provided by the relevant classification society.
