Bulk Carrier SY HANGZHOU Detained in Mumbai

The bulk carrier SY HANGZHOU (IMO 9450143), flying the flag of Sierra Leone, was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at the port of Mumbai on 30 Jul 2026. The inspection was carried out under the Indian MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of 14 deficiencies on board the vessel, one of which was classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship until the issue is rectified. Further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by JINGHAN SHIPPING CO LTD, which is responsible for addressing the outstanding deficiency and ensuring compliance with applicable safety and operational standards before the SY HANGZHOU is released to resume operations. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged ships meet international safety, environmental and labour conventions, with detentions issued when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the vessel, crew or environment if it were to proceed to sea.
