Container Ship SDR MARIAM PEARL Detained in Qingdao

The container ship SDR MARIAM PEARL (IMO 9200017) was detained at the port of Qingdao following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 16 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of eight deficiencies aboard the vessel, of which five were deemed serious enough to warrant detention. The specific nature of the deficiencies has not been disclosed in the inspection report. The SDR MARIAM PEARL is a Panama-flagged container ship with a gross tonnage of 7,970 and a deadweight of 9,822 tonnes. The vessel's International Safety Management (ISM) company is listed as Ada Marine Denizcilik Dis Ticaret Ltd Sti. The detention remains in effect, meaning the vessel is barred from departing Qingdao until the identified deficiencies are addressed and verified by port authorities. Port State Control detentions under the Tokyo MOU are typically issued when deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and vessels are generally required to undergo follow-up inspection before being cleared to resume operations.
