Oil/Chemical Tanker TOUBKAL PARK Detained in Talcahuano

The oil/chemical tanker TOUBKAL PARK (IMO 9981477) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 28 Oct 2026 at the port of Talcahuano, under the Tokyo MOU regime. The inspection identified a total of one deficiency, which was classified as detainable, resulting in the vessel being held in port pending rectification. No further details on the nature of the deficiency were disclosed in the report. TOUBKAL PARK is a Liberian-flagged oil/chemical tanker with a gross tonnage of 12,221 and a deadweight of 19,971 tonnes. The vessel's ISM Company is listed as Zodiac Maritime Ltd. 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, requiring the vessel to remain in port until the issues are resolved and verified by authorities. The case adds to the record of Tokyo MOU detentions for 2026 and underscores ongoing scrutiny of tanker safety compliance within the region. Further updates on the vessel's status are expected once corrective actions are completed and verified by Port State Control officers.
