Bulk Carrier MEGHNA VISION Detained in Tangshan

The bulk carrier MEGHNA VISION, flagged in Bangladesh, was detained at the port of Tangshan following a Port State Control inspection on 30 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 34,830 and a deadweight of 61,213, was found to have seven deficiencies, two of which were considered detainable. The inspection was conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework. The ship is managed by Mercantile Shipping Lines Ltd, which is listed as the ISM company responsible for the vessel's safety management. Detentions occur when deficiencies pose significant safety or environmental risks, preventing the vessel from continuing its voyage until issues are rectified. The MEGHNA VISION's detention highlights ongoing enforcement efforts by Port State Control authorities to ensure compliance with international maritime safety standards. The vessel will remain detained in Tangshan until the identified detainable deficiencies are addressed and the ship is deemed safe for operation.
