Inspectors recorded three deficiencies during the examination, one of which was deemed serious enough to warrant detention of the vessel.

Port State Control inspections under the Tokyo MOU are designed to verify compliance with international maritime safety, security and environmental conventions for vessels calling at ports within the region. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are judged to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is required to address these shortcomings before it is permitted to depart.
