General Cargo Ship SCORPIO II Detained in Dalian

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel SCORPIO II (IMO 9507843) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection in Dalian on 18 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 11 deficiencies in total, six of which were classified as detainable, prompting the vessel's detention pending corrective action. The SCORPIO II is a Panama-flagged ship with a gross tonnage of 4,425 and a deadweight of 6,648 DWT. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by TITAN SHIPPING LTD, which bears responsibility for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be released to resume operations. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when the vessel does not comply with applicable international conventions. The specific nature of the six detainable deficiencies aboard the SCORPIO II was not disclosed in the inspection summary. The vessel will remain in Dalian until the deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of Port State Control officers and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details on the timeline for release or the scope of required repairs have been made available.
