Bulk Carrier GRAND PROSPERITY Detained in Shanghai

The bulk carrier GRAND PROSPERITY was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at the port of Shanghai on 20 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MoU regime. Inspectors identified nine deficiencies aboard the vessel, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship until the issues are resolved. The GRAND PROSPERITY, sailing under the Panama flag, carries IMO number 9168506 and has a gross tonnage of 26,047 with a deadweight of 45,690 tonnes. The vessel's ISM company is listed as Nanjing Jiahang Shipping Co Ltd, which bears responsibility for ensuring compliance with international safety management standards. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU framework occur when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose risks to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment. The specific nature of the nine deficiencies recorded during the Shanghai inspection was not detailed in the report, though the classification of five as detainable indicates conditions requiring rectification before the vessel is cleared to resume operations. The GRAND PROSPERITY will remain under detention in Shanghai until port authorities confirm that the identified deficiencies have been adequately addressed. No further details on the timeline for release or the corrective actions taken by the ISM company have been made available at this time.
