Belize-Flagged Cargo Ship Silver Dream Detained in Nakhodka

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel Silver Dream (IMO 9359222) has been detained in the Russian port of Nakhodka following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 26 Aug 2026. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies during the check, of which five were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are resolved. The Belize-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 2,039 and a deadweight of 2,987 tonnes. Its ISM company is listed as Vision Legal Group (Hong Kong) Ltd. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards set out under conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the Maritime Labour Convention. When inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, the vessel can be detained until corrective action is taken and verified. The Tokyo MOU, covering the Asia-Pacific region, publishes detention data as part of its efforts to monitor substandard shipping and hold flag states and ship managers accountable. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for the vessel's release have been disclosed.
