The vessel's ISM company is listed as Great Circle Shipping Agency Ltd, which bears responsibility for addressing the identified deficiencies before the ship can be released to continue operations.

The vessel will remain detained at Tangshan until the deficiencies are rectified and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance with applicable standards.
