Bulk Carrier INLACO HARMONY Detained in Brisbane

The bulk carrier INLACO HARMONY (IMO 9658795) has been detained at the port of Brisbane, Queensland, following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MoU on 29 Sep 2026. Inspectors recorded 11 deficiencies in total, of which 2 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 21,168 and a deadweight of 33,379 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by International Shipping & Labour Cooperation JSC, known as INLACO Saigon (Cong Ty Co Phan Van Tai Bien Va Hop Tac Lao Dong Quoc Te). Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that vessels comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are serious enough to render a ship unseaworthy or non-compliant until corrective action is taken and verified by inspectors. The vessel will remain in Brisbane until the detainable deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with Tokyo MoU requirements before it is cleared to resume operations. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed at this time.
