General Cargo Ship NACC POROS Detained Under Tokyo MOU

The Portugal-flagged general cargo/multipurpose vessel NACC POROS (IMO 9600592) was detained following a Port State Control inspection at Fraser Wharves on 26 Oct 2026, according to a Tokyo MOU detention report. Inspectors recorded a total of six deficiencies, one of which was assessed as detainable, resulting in the ship being held pending rectification. The vessel has a gross tonnage of 5,566 and a deadweight of 7,720 tonnes. Its ISM-designated company is listed as Technical Core Management S.R.L. Port State Control inspections under regional memoranda of understanding, such as the Tokyo MOU, are conducted to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention and crew welfare conventions. A detention order is issued when deficiencies are judged serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew or the environment, and the vessel is required to remain in port until the issues are corrected and verified by inspectors. No further details on the nature of the detainable deficiency, the timeline for release, or the vessel's onward schedule have been disclosed. Authorities typically require confirmation of repairs before clearing a detained ship to resume operations.
