The bulk carrier LADY NANA (IMO 9364849), flagged in Panama, was detained during a Port State Control inspection in Taizhou, Jiangsu on 13 Aug 2026. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 16,951 and deadweight of 28,399, was found with a total of 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 Shanghai Grace Shipping Co Ltd, which is listed as the ISM company responsible for the vessel's safety management. The detention indicates significant safety or regulatory non-compliance issues that must be rectified before the ship can resume operations. Port State Control inspections like this are routine measures to ensure maritime safety and environmental protection. Detentions serve as enforcement tools to compel shipowners and operators to maintain vessels according to international standards. LADY NANA will remain detained until the identified deficiencies are addressed and the vessel passes a follow-up inspection.
