General Cargo Ship Peaceful World Detained in Lianyungang

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel PEACEFUL WORLD (IMO 1080605) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU at the Chinese port of Lianyungang on 11 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 10 deficiencies aboard the ship, of which four were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 8,839 and a deadweight of 12,500 tonnes. Its ISM Company is listed as Weida Shipping Ltd. Port State Control regimes such as the Tokyo MOU carry out inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards under conventions including SOLAS, MARPOL and the MLC. Detainable deficiencies are those judged serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and a detention order requires the vessel to remain in port until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The detention adds to the record of PEACEFUL WORLD under Port State Control oversight and will be reflected in the vessel's inspection history within the Tokyo MOU database.
