Bulk Carrier SE NICKY Detained in Shanghai

The bulk carrier SE NICKY, flagged in Panama and operated by SINCERE INDUSTRIAL CORP, was detained in Shanghai following a Port State Control inspection on 31 Jul 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 23,232 and a deadweight of 37,717, was found with three detainable deficiencies during the inspection conducted under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The detention indicates that the deficiencies identified were serious enough to warrant immediate corrective action before the vessel could continue its operations. Port State Control inspections are routine checks aimed at ensuring ships comply with international safety, security, and environmental standards. SE NICKY's detention highlights the ongoing enforcement efforts by maritime authorities to uphold safety standards in the shipping industry. The vessel will remain detained until the deficiencies are rectified and verified by the inspecting authorities.
