Panama-Flagged General Cargo Ship HOREN Detained in Nagoya

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel HOREN (IMO 9380996) was detained at the Japanese port of Nagoya, Aichi, following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 07 Sep 2026, according to a Tokyo MoU detention report. The inspection identified a total of three deficiencies, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The ship is a Panama-flagged general cargo carrier with a gross tonnage of 1,874 and a deadweight of 3,133 tonnes. The vessel's ISM company is listed as Yantai Minghua Shipping Co Ltd. Details of the specific deficiency that led to the detention have not been disclosed in the report. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU regime are issued when inspectors determine that a ship's condition, equipment, or crew do not comply with applicable international safety, pollution prevention, or working condition requirements to the extent that the vessel is unfit to proceed to sea. The vessel will remain under detention until the outstanding deficiency is addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control authorities and clearance is granted for departure.
