Vehicle Carrier POLARIS MILA Detained in Ulsan

The vehicle carrier POLARIS MILA (IMO 9289908) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection in Ulsan on 07 Oct 2026, according to a Tokyo MOU detention report. The inspection identified six total deficiencies, two of which were classified as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port until the issues are rectified. The vessel, flagged in Liberia with a gross tonnage of 47,168, is managed under the ISM Code by OSM SHIP MANAGEMENT PTE. LTD. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, preventing the vessel from sailing until corrective action is verified. The specific nature of the deficiencies has not been detailed in the report. The vessel will remain under detention in Ulsan pending resolution of the identified deficiencies and clearance by port authorities before it is permitted to resume operations.
