Grande Anversa Ro-Ro Detained in Dalian Under Tokyo MoU

The Ro-Ro cargo vessel GRANDE ANVERSA (IMO 9287417) was detained by port state control authorities in Dalian following an inspection conducted on 24 Sep 2026, under the Tokyo MoU regime. Inspectors identified a total of seven deficiencies, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending corrective action. The ship, flagged in Italy, has a gross tonnage of 38,671 and a deadweight of 12,353 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by Grimaldi Euromed SpA. Details of the specific deficiencies were not disclosed in the inspection record. Port state control inspections under the Tokyo MoU framework are designed to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, environmental, and labour standards. Detentions occur 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 required to rectify the issues before being cleared to continue operations. The GRANDE ANVERSA will remain in Dalian until the detainable deficiencies are resolved and verified by port state control officers, in line with standard Tokyo MoU procedures for vessel release.
