General Cargo Ship JING RUN Detained in Ulsan

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel JING RUN (IMO 9154622) was detained at the port of Ulsan following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 22 Sep 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified a total of six deficiencies aboard the vessel, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship pending corrective action. The JING RUN, flying the flag of Sao Tome and Principe, has a gross tonnage of 1,497 and is managed under the ISM Code by YANTAI WENHAI SHIPPING 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. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and cleared by inspectors. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the vessel's release status have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels flagged for non-compliance within the Tokyo MOU region during 2026.
