Malaysian Tug POWER JME 11 Detained at Tanjung Priok

The Malaysian-flagged tug POWER JME 11 has been detained at the Indonesian port of Tanjung Priok following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 20 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded 11 deficiencies in total, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending corrective action. The tug, with IMO number 9433999, has a gross tonnage of 270 and a deadweight of 320. It is managed under the ISM Code by Power Ascent Asia Sdn Bhd, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the vessel can be cleared to resume operations. Details of the specific deficiencies that led to the detention have not been disclosed. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and the vessel must remain in port until the issues are rectified and verified by the relevant port state control authority. The detention adds to the Tokyo MOU's ongoing inspection regime across the Asia-Pacific region, which monitors compliance with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards among vessels calling at member ports.
