EVER FELICITY Detained in Ulsan for Safety Deficiencies

The general cargo vessel EVER FELICITY (IMO 9379856), flagged under the Marshall Islands, was detained in the port of Ulsan following a Port State Control inspection on 22 Jul 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), identified a total of nine deficiencies, four of which were considered detainable. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 9,589, is managed by VANGUARD INTERNATIONAL SHIP MANAGEMENT CO LIMITED. The detention indicates that the deficiencies found posed significant safety or regulatory compliance issues that required immediate rectification before the vessel could continue operations. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU aim to ensure that foreign ships visiting regional ports comply with international safety, security, and environmental standards. Detentions serve as a critical enforcement tool to uphold maritime safety and protect port environments. EVER FELICITY will remain detained in Ulsan until the identified detainable deficiencies are adequately addressed and verified by authorities, ensuring the vessel meets all required standards for safe operation.
