Liberian-Flagged Vessel AGIA DOXA Detained in Guangzhou

The vessel AGIA DOXA (IMO 9467976) was detained at the port of Guangzhou following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 20 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of nine deficiencies, four of which were classified as detainable. The vessel, flagged in Liberia and classified as a ship for other special activities, has a gross tonnage of 21,650 and a deadweight of 33,334 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by Samios Shipping Co SA. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a vessel is detained when deficiencies are deemed serious enough to pose a risk to safety, health, or the environment, or when they fail to meet the requirements of relevant international conventions. The vessel will remain detained in Guangzhou until the identified deficiencies are rectified and verified by Port State Control officers, at which point it may be permitted to resume operations. The detention adds to the record of inspections carried out under the Tokyo MOU regional agreement, which coordinates port state control activities among member authorities across the Asia-Pacific region to enforce compliance with international maritime safety and environmental standards.
