Bulk Carrier Navios Sol Detained in Tianjin

The bulk carrier Navios Sol (IMO 9545170) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU at the port of Tianjin on 18 Sep 2026. Inspectors identified a total of eight deficiencies aboard the vessel, two of which were classed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The vessel, flagged in Panama, has a gross tonnage of 90,627 and a deadweight of 180,274 DWT. The Navios Sol is managed by Navios Technical Management SA under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which places responsibility on the company for ensuring the vessel's compliance with international safety and operational standards. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The Tokyo MOU is one of several regional Port State Control regimes that inspect foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports across the Asia-Pacific region to verify compliance with international maritime conventions. Further details on the nature of the detainable deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed.
