Container Ship XIN HE DA Detained at Tianjin

The container ship XIN HE DA (IMO 9367891) was detained at the port of Tianjin following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 20 Aug 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 7,808 and a deadweight of 11,265 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Rongshengtai International Shipping Co Ltd, which is responsible for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection before the ship can be released to resume operations. Details of the specific deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition poses a risk to safety, the environment, or fails to meet international maritime conventions. The XIN HE DA will remain under detention at Tianjin pending verification that all detainable deficiencies have been corrected in accordance with Tokyo MOU requirements.
