General Cargo Ship JUNE XIN Detained in Hachinohe

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel JUNE XIN (IMO 9146209) has been detained at the Japanese port of Hachinohe following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 18 Sep 2026. Inspectors identified seven deficiencies during the examination, two of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The JUNE XIN is a Belize-flagged ship with a gross tonnage of 1,948 and a deadweight of 3,268 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Xin-Shipping Co Ltd. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards set out under conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the ISM Code. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the identified issues are rectified and verified by the relevant authority. Further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed.
