General Cargo Ship HOANG TRIEU 79 Detained in China

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HOANG TRIEU 79 (IMO 9518593) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU at the port of Humen, China, on 29 Aug 2026. Inspectors identified seven deficiencies during the examination, of which five were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The specific nature of the deficiencies has not been disclosed in the available report. HOANG TRIEU 79 flies the flag of Sao Tome and Principe and has a gross tonnage of 2,992 and a deadweight of 5,658 tonnes. The ship is managed under the ISM Code by Hoang Trieu JSC (Cong Ty Co Phan Hoang Trieu). Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are resolved and verified by port state control officers. The vessel will remain under detention until the identified deficiencies are corrected and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable international safety and environmental standards, after which clearance to depart may be granted.
