Bulk Carrier Power Globe Detained in Incheon

The Cyprus-flagged bulk carrier Power Globe (IMO 9479319) was detained by port state control authorities in Incheon following an inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 08 Sep 2026. Inspectors identified six deficiencies on board, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting the ship's detention. The 42,711 gross tonnage vessel is managed under the ISM Code by GLOBUS SHIPMANAGEMENT CORP. Details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report, though the detention indicates that authorities judged the ship unfit to proceed to sea until the identified issues are rectified. Port state control inspections under regional agreements such as the Tokyo MOU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards set out under conventions including SOLAS, MARPOL, and the ISM Code. Vessels found with detainable deficiencies are held in port until corrective action is taken and verified by inspectors, after which the detention is lifted and the ship is cleared to resume operations. The case adds to the record of enforcement actions taken by Tokyo MOU member states against bulk carriers calling at Northeast Asian ports this year. No further details regarding the vessel's release or repair timeline have been made available.
