The Liberia-flagged bulk carrier HONG RUN 26 (IMO 9377688) was detained at the port of Tianjin following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of 11 deficiencies during the examination, three of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action.

The vessel will remain detained until the identified deficiencies are rectified to the satisfaction of Port State Control officers and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable international safety and operational standards. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU framework are issued when inspectors determine that a vessel's condition, equipment or crew certification pose a risk to safety, the environment, or security, or fail to meet requirements under international conventions. No further details regarding the timeline for the vessel's release have been made available.
