Panama-Flagged General Cargo Ship Detained in Rizhao

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel DYNAWAY BRAVER (IMO 1131088) was detained by port state control authorities following an inspection at the port of Rizhao on 21 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MoU regime. The inspection identified six deficiencies aboard the Panama-flagged ship, two of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel until the issues are resolved. The vessel, with a gross tonnage of 5,153 and deadweight of 8,009, is managed under the ISM Code by HOSEI MANNING CO. LTD. Port state control inspections under the Tokyo MoU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, security and environmental standards. Detentions are imposed when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until corrective actions are verified by inspectors. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or the timeline for release of the DYNAWAY BRAVER have been disclosed. The vessel remains under detention pending resolution of the identified issues.
