Bulk Carrier NAVIX Detained in Shanghai After Inspection

The bulk carrier NAVIX was detained at the port of Shanghai following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 22 Sep 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded six deficiencies in total, of which five were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. NAVIX, sailing under the Panama flag, has a gross tonnage of 24,953 and a deadweight of 42,717 tonnes. The vessel is identified by IMO number 9161596 and is managed under the ISM Company ORBIS MARINE LIMITED, which is responsible for ensuring compliance with the International Safety Management Code and other statutory requirements. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework occur when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or when non-compliance with international conventions is deemed significant enough to warrant the vessel being restricted from sailing until issues are resolved. The specific nature of the six deficiencies identified aboard NAVIX has not been detailed in the inspection summary. The vessel will remain under detention in Shanghai until the flag state, classification society, or relevant authorities confirm that the identified deficiencies have been addressed and the ship meets the applicable safety and operational standards required for release.
