Inspectors recorded a total of eight deficiencies, four of which were classified as detainable, leading authorities to order the vessel's detention pending corrective action.

The vessel is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by SEA BRIGHT SHIP MANAGEMENT & OPERATION LLC, which bears responsibility for ensuring the ship's compliance with international safety and operational standards. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU regime are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, crew, or environment, and the vessel is required to remain in port until these issues are rectified and verified by port state control officers. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified aboard ALJAZIAH have not been disclosed. The vessel will remain under detention in Zhuhai until the relevant authorities confirm that the identified faults have been addressed and the ship is cleared to resume operations.
