Bulk Carrier GLEAMSTAR Detained in Yingkou

The bulk carrier GLEAMSTAR (IMO 9537733) has been detained at the port of Yingkou following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 26 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded nine deficiencies, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are rectified. The GLEAMSTAR is a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 41,342 and a deadweight of 75,490 DWT. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Gleamray Maritime Inc, which is responsible for addressing the deficiencies identified during the inspection before the ship can resume operations. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment or crew documentation pose a risk to safety, the environment, or fail to meet international maritime standards. The specific nature of the five detainable deficiencies aboard the GLEAMSTAR was not disclosed in the inspection report. The vessel will remain under detention at Yingkou until the flag state and classification society confirm that corrective actions have been completed and the ship meets the required safety and operational standards for release.
