General Cargo Ship SKOON A Detained in Dalian

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel SKOON A (IMO 8592982) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted in Dalian on 04 Oct 2026, under the Tokyo MOU framework. Inspectors identified seven deficiencies aboard the vessel, all of which were classified as detainable. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 2,972 and a deadweight of 5,055 tonnes. Its ISM company is listed as Long Win International Shipping Co Ltd. The vessel will remain in detention at the port of Dalian until the identified deficiencies are rectified and verified by port state control authorities. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until these issues are resolved. Further details regarding the specific nature of the seven deficiencies found aboard SKOON A have not been disclosed. The vessel's release will depend on confirmation by Dalian port authorities that all detainable deficiencies have been addressed in accordance with Tokyo MOU requirements.
