Togo-Flagged EMILY Detained in Hong Kong After Inspection

The vessel EMILY, flagged in Togo, has been detained in Hong Kong following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 07 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded 13 deficiencies in total, four of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. EMILY, which carries IMO number 1037880 and is classified under the "Other special activities" ship type, has a gross tonnage of 6,389 and a deadweight of 9,935 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Ariaz Worldwide Shipping Corp. Detention under the Tokyo MOU framework is applied 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 found. Vessels subject to detention are required to rectify the identified deficiencies before being cleared to resume operations, and the case will be reflected in the Tokyo MOU's inspection records as part of ongoing monitoring of flag and vessel performance in the region. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or a timeline for release have been disclosed.
