Bulk Carrier CM LAURENCIA Detained in Guangzhou

The Indonesian-flagged bulk carrier CM LAURENCIA (IMO 9316880) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection under the Tokyo MoU at the port of Guangzhou on 10 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 17 deficiencies, of which six were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The CM LAURENCIA has a gross tonnage of 38,887 and a deadweight of 75,698 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by PT. CAKRAWALA MANAJEMEN MARITIM, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can resume operations. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU framework occur when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to safety, the environment, or compliance with international maritime regulations. Vessels held under this regime must demonstrate that all detainable deficiencies have been corrected and undergo a follow-up inspection before being cleared to depart. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels flagged for non-compliance in the Asia-Pacific region this year, underscoring the continued scrutiny placed on bulk carriers operating in the area.
