Bulk Carrier TY LUCKY Detained at Yingkou Port

The Panama-flagged bulk carrier TY LUCKY was detained at Yingkou port on 10 Sep 2026 following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified nine deficiencies during the examination, of which seven were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The TY LUCKY, bearing IMO number 1083102, is a bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 7,268 and a deadweight of 11,065 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by RONG CHUN SHIPPING CO., LIMITED, which bears responsibility for addressing the safety and operational shortcomings flagged during the inspection. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU framework are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is barred from departing until the flag state or a recognised organisation confirms that corrective action has been taken. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed. The detention adds to the record of Port State Control actions against vessels calling at Chinese ports this year.
