Container Ship RUN LONG Detained in Shanghai Over Deficiencies

The container ship RUN LONG (IMO 9172612) was detained in Shanghai on 26 Oct 2026 following a Port State Control inspection under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors identified three deficiencies aboard the vessel, all of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The RUN LONG is a Bahamas-flagged container vessel with a gross tonnage of 7,401 and a deadweight of 9,157 tonnes. Its ISM company is listed as Dalian Zhida Ship Management Co Ltd, which bears responsibility for addressing the safety and compliance issues flagged during the inspection. Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU framework are designed to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports meet international safety, environmental and labour standards. When inspectors find deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, crew or environment, the vessel is detained until the issues are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or the expected duration of the detention have been disclosed. The vessel will remain in Shanghai until the identified faults are corrected to the satisfaction of port authorities.
