The bulk carrier TUFTY (IMO 9393163) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at Manzanillo on 03 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MoU regime. The Cyprus-flagged vessel, with a gross tonnage of 19,814 and deadweight of 30,803 DWT, was found to have four deficiencies during the inspection, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Navarone SA. Details of the specific deficiencies leading to the detention have not been disclosed. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MoU are conducted to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions, and vessels found with serious deficiencies are detained until corrective action is taken and the ship is confirmed fit to resume operations. No further information on the timeline for release of the TUFTY has been provided. The detention adds to the record of port state control actions logged under the Tokyo MoU for 2026.
