Bulk Carrier DUBHE Detained at Tianjin Under Tokyo MOU

The bulk carrier DUBHE (IMO 9490818) was detained at the port of Tianjin following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Aug 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified a total of eight deficiencies, six of which were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the vessel in port. The DUBHE is a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 32,839 and a deadweight of 58,018 DWT. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by SHANGHAI AM SHIPPING CO., LTD. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards set out in conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the ISM Code. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been released. The vessel will remain in Tianjin until the outstanding safety issues are addressed to the satisfaction of Tokyo MOU port state control authorities.
