Bulk Carrier ZHEN HAO 7 Detained at Tanjung Priok

The bulk carrier ZHEN HAO 7, flagged under Palau, was detained at the port of Tanjung Priok following a Port State Control inspection on 15 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 9,268 and deadweight of 14,763, was found with a total of 29 deficiencies, including four that were considered detainable. The inspection was conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework. The ship is managed by Always Profits Development International Industry Ltd, which is listed as the ISM company responsible for the vessel's safety management system. The detention indicates significant non-compliance issues that must be addressed before the vessel can be cleared for departure. Port State Control detentions are a critical measure to ensure maritime safety and environmental protection by enforcing international regulations. The detention of ZHEN HAO 7 highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining vessel standards within the bulk carrier sector.
