Container Ship SAN DIEGO Detained in Shanghai

The container ship SAN DIEGO (IMO 9398412) was detained in Shanghai following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 26 Oct 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded four deficiencies, three of which were classified as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port. The Liberian-flagged vessel has a gross tonnage of 91,092 and a deadweight of 108,574 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by ZIM INTEGRATED SHIPPING SERVICES LTD, which bears responsibility for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be cleared to resume operations. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a sufficient risk to safety, the environment, or living and working conditions aboard the vessel to warrant holding it in port until corrective action is taken. The vessel will remain detained in Shanghai pending verification that the detainable deficiencies have been rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable international conventions. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies and the anticipated timeline for release have not been disclosed. Updates on the vessel's status are expected as the port authority and ISM company proceed with remedial measures.
