General Cargo Ship Shoryu 1 Detained in Zhenjiang

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel Shoryu 1 was detained on 20 Sep 2026 following a Port State Control inspection in Zhenjiang under the Tokyo MOU regime, according to a detention report. Inspectors identified five deficiencies during the check, two of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship pending corrective action. The Shoryu 1 sails under the Panama flag and carries IMO number 8998540. The vessel has a gross tonnage of 1,499 and a deadweight of 2,782 tonnes, placing it among smaller general cargo ships operating in regional trade. Its ISM Company is listed as Yantai Jinghai Logistics Co Ltd. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU framework are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Detainable deficiencies indicate conditions serious enough to warrant holding a vessel in port until issues are rectified and verified by inspectors, rather than allowing the ship to sail with lesser follow-up requirements. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The vessel will remain in Zhenjiang until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities.
