BERGE SHARI Detained in Shanghai for Deficiencies

The vessel BERGE SHARI, flagged under the Isle of Man and operated by Berge Bulk Maritime Pte Ltd, was detained in Shanghai following a Port State Control inspection on 18 Jul 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), identified a total of four deficiencies, three of which were considered detainable. BERGE SHARI is classified as a ship for other special activities, with a gross tonnage of 21,530 and a deadweight of 34,534. The detention indicates that the deficiencies found were serious enough to warrant preventing the vessel from sailing until corrective actions are taken. Port State Control inspections are routine checks aimed at ensuring vessels comply with international safety, security, and environmental standards. Detentions serve as enforcement measures to uphold maritime safety and protect port and coastal environments. The vessel will remain detained in Shanghai until the identified issues are resolved and verified by authorities, ensuring compliance with the Tokyo MOU requirements.
