Oil Tanker Hera Detained in Singapore After PSC Inspection

The oil tanker Hera (IMO 1075375), flying the Malaysian flag, was detained in Singapore following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 12 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 16 deficiencies, of which 10 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The Hera has a gross tonnage of 3,550 and a deadweight of 4,978 tonnes. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Trust Ship Management Pte Ltd. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that conditions on board pose a risk to safety, health or the environment, or when deficiencies are serious enough to warrant the vessel being prohibited from sailing. The tanker will remain in Singapore until the responsible parties demonstrate that the detainable deficiencies have been addressed to the satisfaction of port state control officers. No further details regarding the timeline for release or the nature of required repairs have been made available.​
