Bulk Carrier PAS BLUE WAVE Detained at Tanjung Priok

The Panama-flagged bulk carrier PAS BLUE WAVE (IMO 9418327) has been detained at Tanjung Priok following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 19 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded 17 deficiencies, three of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel pending corrective action. The 19,993 gross tonnage ship, with a deadweight of 31,889 DWT, is managed under the ISM Code by Phu An JSC. Details of the specific deficiencies that led to the detention have not been disclosed in the inspection record. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detention order 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 is barred from sailing until the issues are rectified and verified by port state control officers. The vessel will remain at Tanjung Priok until the detainable deficiencies are resolved and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, after which release documentation would be issued to permit the ship to resume operations.
