General Cargo Ship QI YUAN 17 Detained in Incheon

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel QI YUAN 17 (IMO 1136076) was detained by Port State Control authorities in Incheon following an inspection conducted on 06 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MoU regime. Inspectors recorded 16 deficiencies in total, of which 8 were assessed as detainable, prompting the vessel's detention pending rectification. The ship, flagged in Guinea-Bissau, has a gross tonnage of 7,719 and is managed under the ISM Code by BRIGHT CONCORD INC LIMITIED. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed in the available report. Under the Tokyo MoU framework, port state control inspections are carried out to verify compliance with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are judged 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 the issues are resolved and verified by authorities. No further information has been released regarding the nature of the deficiencies, repair timeline, or the vessel's next port of call. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Tokyo MoU for vessels calling at Incheon this year.
