Singapore-Flagged Container Ship Detained in Nagoya

The container ship PEARL RIVER BRIDGE (IMO 9444986) was detained following a Port State Control inspection in Nagoya, Aichi, under the Tokyo MOU regime. The inspection, carried out on 17 Aug 2026, identified nine deficiencies, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The PEARL RIVER BRIDGE is a Singapore-flagged container ship with a gross tonnage of 17,211 and a deadweight of 21,976 DWT. The vessel's ISM company is listed as Onesea Solutions Pte Ltd. Details on the specific nature of the detainable deficiency have not been disclosed in the inspection report. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detention is issued when a deficiency is deemed serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, crew, or the environment, or when it fails to comply with applicable international conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Nagoya until the identified deficiency is rectified and verified by port state control officers, after which it may be cleared to resume operations.
