Bulk Carrier HSC GREEN Detained in Guangzhou

The bulk carrier HSC GREEN (IMO 9338553) has been detained by port state control authorities following an inspection in Guangzhou under the Tokyo MOU regime. The inspection, conducted on 21 Oct 2026, identified nine deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The HSC GREEN is a Panama-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 19,822 and a deadweight of 32,139 tonnes. The vessel's ISM-responsible company is listed as Hoang Ha Shipping - Trading Co Ltd (Cong Ty TNHH Thuong Mai - Van Tai Bien Hoang Ha). Port state control detentions occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies found on board pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, or indicate non-compliance with international maritime conventions. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detained vessel is required to rectify the identified deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before it will be permitted to depart port. Details of the specific deficiencies leading to the detention of the HSC GREEN have not been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels held under the Tokyo MOU framework, which covers port state control inspections across the Asia-Pacific region.
