Gas Carrier GAS SUMMIT Detained at Zhangjiagang

The gas carrier GAS SUMMIT (IMO 9693549) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU at the port of Zhangjiagang on 30 Oct 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of seven deficiencies, two of which were assessed as detainable, resulting in the ship being held in port pending rectification. The vessel, flagged in Panama, has a gross tonnage of 47,696 and a deadweight of 53,999 tonnes. It is managed under the ISM Code by KSS Line Ltd, which is responsible for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be cleared to resume operations. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework occur when inspectors determine that deficiencies pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, or indicate non-compliance with applicable international conventions. The specific nature of the deficiencies aboard GAS SUMMIT has not been disclosed in the inspection record. The Tokyo MOU, covering ports across the Asia-Pacific region, conducts regular inspections of foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour standards. No timeline for the vessel's release has been provided.
