Bulk Carrier CARL OLDENDORFF Detained in Yingkou

The bulk carrier CARL OLDENDORFF was detained following a Port State Control inspection at the port of Yingkou on 03 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified nine deficiencies aboard the vessel, four of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The CARL OLDENDORFF, sailing under the Liberian flag, has a gross tonnage of 51,253 and a deadweight of 93,028 tonnes. The vessel is registered with IMO number 9484704 and is managed under the ISM Code by Oldendorff Carriers GmbH & Co. KG. Port State Control inspections under regional agreements such as the Tokyo MOU are designed to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards. When inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew, or environment, the vessel can be detained until the issues are rectified and verified through a follow-up inspection. The detention adds to the record of Port State Control actions logged against vessels operating in the Tokyo MOU region during 2026. No further details on the nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention were disclosed in the inspection report.
