Bulk Carrier AMIS BRAVE Detained in Zhangzhou After Inspection

The bulk carrier AMIS BRAVE (IMO 9667459) was detained at the port of Zhangzhou following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 12 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of seven deficiencies, three of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending corrective action. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 34,805 and a deadweight of 61,467 DWT. Its ISM management is carried out by Synergy Maritime Pvt Ltd, which is responsible for ensuring the vessel's compliance with international safety and operational standards. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU are designed to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international conventions covering safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels held under Tokyo MOU port state control this year, with further updates expected once remedial works are completed and the detention is lifted.
