Qatari Container Ship MAJD Detained at Zhoushan

The container ship MAJD, flagged in Qatar, was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Zhoushan on 20 Oct 2026, under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of eight deficiencies, two of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. MAJD, bearing IMO number 9323027, has a gross tonnage of 38,320 and a deadweight of 46,344. The vessel is managed under the ISM Code by Milaha Ship Management WLL, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be cleared to resume operations. Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, or indicate non-compliance with international maritime conventions. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detained vessel must rectify all outstanding issues and undergo a follow-up inspection before release is granted. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. Further updates are expected once the vessel operator completes corrective actions and the port authority confirms compliance.
