General Cargo Ship Xin Zhong Rui 7 Detained at Xiamen

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel XIN ZHONG RUI 7 (IMO 9488396) has been detained following a Port State Control inspection at Xiamen under the Tokyo MoU regime. The inspection, conducted on 05 Nov 2026, identified nine deficiencies, four of which were assessed as detainable, resulting in the ship being held in port. The vessel is flagged in Belize and has a gross tonnage of 4,426 with a deadweight of 6,708 DWT. Its ISM company is listed as UNIVERSAL GOOD FORTUNE INTL MARINE PTE. LTD. Further details on the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection record. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU framework are issued when inspectors determine that conditions on board pose a risk to safety, security, or the environment, or where the ship fails to comply with applicable international conventions. Vessels detained under the scheme are required to rectify the identified deficiencies before being permitted to resume operations and depart the port. The case adds to the record of inspections carried out under the Tokyo MoU, which coordinates Port State Control activity among maritime authorities across the Asia-Pacific region to monitor compliance with international shipping standards.
