General Cargo Ship GUANYANG Detained at Subic Bay

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel GUANYANG (IMO 9110250) was detained at Subic Bay following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 04 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 20 deficiencies in total, of which 16 were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The GUANYANG is a small general cargo ship flying the flag of Comoros, with a gross tonnage of 430 and a deadweight of 531 tonnes. The high ratio of detainable deficiencies to total findings points to significant safety or operational shortcomings identified during the inspection, though the specific nature of the deficiencies was not detailed in the report. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a vessel is detained when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the environment, and it will not be released until the issues are rectified and verified by the relevant authority. The vessel will remain in Subic Bay until it demonstrates compliance with applicable international safety and pollution prevention standards. No timeline for release has been disclosed.
