Bulk Carrier MAKATI Detained in Yingkou Port

The bulk carrier MAKATI, flagged in Palau, was detained at Yingkou port following a Port State Control inspection on 23 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 39,161 and a deadweight of 73,035, was found to have seven deficiencies, four of which were considered detainable. The inspection was conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework. The ship is managed by MAYUMI SHIPPING MANAGER CO LTD, which is responsible for the vessel's compliance with safety and operational standards. The detention indicates serious concerns regarding the ship's condition or management that require rectification before it can resume operations. Port State Control inspections aim to ensure maritime safety and environmental protection by verifying that foreign ships comply with international regulations. Detentions are enforced when deficiencies pose significant risks to the vessel, crew, or environment. The MAKATI will remain detained until the identified issues are resolved, ensuring it meets the necessary safety standards before departure.
