The Greek-flagged bulk carrier MARAN GRACE was detained in Shanghai on 06 Nov 2026 following a Port State Control inspection under the Tokyo MoU regime, according to a detention report. Inspectors identified three deficiencies aboard the vessel, all of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port until the issues are rectified. The report does not specify the exact nature of the deficiencies found. MARAN GRACE, carrying IMO number 9440320, has a gross tonnage of 91,920 and a deadweight of 180,391 DWT. The vessel is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by MARAN DRY MANAGEMENT INC. Bulk carriers of this size are typically engaged in long-haul dry bulk trades, including iron ore, coal and grain shipments. Port State Control inspections are conducted to verify compliance with international safety, environmental and labour conventions, and detentions are issued when deficiencies pose a risk to safety, the environment, or the welfare of crew. The vessel will remain detained in Shanghai until the identified deficiencies are addressed and the port authority is satisfied that the ship meets the required standards for release.
