Container Ship CMA CGM VOLTAIRE Detained at Zhoushan

The container ship CMA CGM VOLTAIRE was detained at the Chinese port of Zhoushan following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 31 Aug 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified five deficiencies aboard the vessel, two of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The CMA CGM VOLTAIRE, flying the flag of Malta, has a gross tonnage of 71,112 and a deadweight of 80,228 tonnes. Built with IMO number 9635652, the vessel is managed under the ISM Code by CMA CGM International Shipping Co Pte Ltd. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework occur when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to safety, health, or the environment, requiring rectification before a vessel is permitted to resume its voyage. The Tokyo MOU covers port state control inspections across the Asia-Pacific region and publishes detention data as part of its efforts to enforce international maritime safety standards. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The vessel's release will depend on the ISM company addressing the outstanding issues to the satisfaction of port state control authorities in Zhoushan.
