General Cargo Ship UDE NOAH Detained in Pyeongtaek

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel UDE NOAH (IMO 1100730) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU at Pyeongtaek on 23 Oct 2026. Inspectors identified 13 deficiencies in total, six of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port pending corrective action. The UDE NOAH sails under the Panama flag and has a gross tonnage of 5,147. Its ISM-designated company is SENHO SHIP MANAGEMENT(DAILIAN) CO LTD, which bears responsibility for addressing the safety and operational shortcomings cited during the inspection. Port State Control regimes such as the Tokyo MOU carry out inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international maritime safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare standards. Detention is imposed when deficiencies are judged serious enough to pose a risk to the vessel, its crew, or the environment, and the ship is barred from departing until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. No further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies or an estimated release date have been disclosed. The vessel remains under detention in Pyeongtaek pending completion of remedial measures and a follow-up inspection.
