Bulk Carrier THERESA BLISS Detained at Gladstone

The bulk carrier THERESA BLISS (IMO 1040813), flagged in Panama, was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 02 Jun 2026 at Gladstone, QLD. Inspectors operating under the Indian MoU framework recorded a total of 11 deficiencies during the inspection, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The ship's ISM Company is listed as Toshin Kisen KK. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and labour standards under conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the MLC. When deficiencies are found to pose a serious risk to safety, health or the environment, port authorities can detain the vessel until the issues are rectified. The THERESA BLISS will remain under detention at Gladstone until the outstanding deficiency has been addressed to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority and clearance to sail is granted. No further details regarding the nature of the detainable deficiency or the vessel's release status have been disclosed.
