Bulk Carrier OCEAN SAFE Detained at Xiamen

The bulk carrier OCEAN SAFE (IMO 9456379) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Xiamen under the Tokyo MOU regime. The inspection, conducted on 27 Oct 2026, identified eight deficiencies in total, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The Liberian-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 32,983 and a deadweight of 57,050 DWT. It is managed under the ISM Code by NYN TPM Ship Management Ltd. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have been disclosed in the inspection report. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that conditions on board pose a risk to safety, security, or the environment, or when deficiencies are serious enough to prevent the vessel from proceeding to sea. The OCEAN SAFE will remain in Xiamen until the identified deficiencies are rectified and the vessel is cleared for departure by port authorities. Further updates on the status of the detention are expected as remedial action progresses.
