Jamaica-Flagged Vessel Detained in Nanjing Port Inspection

The vessel JIANG HAI ZHI YUN (IMO 1194810) was detained by Port State Control authorities following an inspection at the port of Nanjing on 30 Oct 2026, under the Tokyo MoU regime. Inspectors recorded a total of six deficiencies, two of which were assessed as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the ship in port. The vessel is flagged in Jamaica and classified under the "Other special activities" ship type category. It has a gross tonnage of 14,662 and a deadweight of 24,082 tonnes. The ship is managed under the ISM Code by Feng Tong Shipmanage Ltd, which bears responsibility for addressing the identified deficiencies before the vessel can be released. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify that foreign vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, pollution prevention, and crew welfare standards set out under conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL. A detention is issued when deficiencies are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and remains in effect until the flag state or responsible organization confirms that corrective measures have been completed. No further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies or an expected release date have been disclosed. The case adds to the record of vessels flagged by Jamaica subject to detention actions under the Tokyo MoU in the region this year.
