Container Ship SEABREEZE Detained in Ningbo

The container ship SEABREEZE (IMO 9472579) was detained at the port of Ningbo following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 01 Sep 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified a total of seven deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The SEABREEZE is a Liberian-flagged container ship with a gross tonnage of 27,104 and a deadweight of 33,508 DWT. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by ASM Maritime BV, which serves as the company responsible for its safety management system. Port State Control detentions occur when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment, or crew operations pose a risk to safety, the environment, or fail to meet international convention requirements. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a ship remains detained until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority and the vessel is confirmed fit to proceed to sea. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected timeline for release have been disclosed. The detention adds to the vessel's inspection history under the Tokyo MOU, which monitors compliance among ships calling at ports across the Asia-Pacific region.
