Woodchip Carrier ANEMONA Detained in Zhangzhou

The woodchip carrier ANEMONA (IMO 9370812) has been detained by port state control authorities in Zhangzhou following an inspection conducted on 28 Sep 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified five deficiencies aboard the vessel, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The Panama-flagged carrier has a gross tonnage of 39,895 and a deadweight of 49,442 DWT. The vessel's ISM company is listed as Misuga Kaiun Philippines Inc, which will be responsible for addressing the deficiencies before the ANEMONA can be cleared to resume operations. Details of the specific deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection record. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that conditions aboard a vessel pose a risk to safety, the environment, or fail to meet international maritime standards. The ANEMONA will remain in Zhangzhou pending verification that corrective actions have been completed and the vessel is fit to sail.
