Oil Tanker CRISTY Detained in Singapore Port

The oil tanker CRISTY, flagged under Palau, was detained during a Port State Control inspection in Singapore on 13 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 2,664 and deadweight of 4,352, was found with a total of 25 deficiencies, 14 of which were considered detainable. The inspection was conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework. The company responsible for the ship's safety management system is NW Maritime Pte Ltd. The detention indicates significant non-compliance with international safety and operational standards. Port State Control inspections aim to ensure vessels meet safety, security, and environmental standards to prevent maritime accidents and pollution. Detentions are enforced when deficiencies pose serious risks to the ship, crew, or environment. The CRISTY will remain detained until the identified issues are rectified and verified by the authorities, ensuring compliance with the Tokyo MOU requirements before resuming operations.
