Bulk Carrier EVER GRAND Detained in Beihai

The bulk carrier EVER GRAND (IMO 9613989) was detained following a Port State Control inspection carried out at Beihai on 09 Nov 2026 under the Tokyo MOU regime. Inspectors recorded ten deficiencies in total, five of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The EVER GRAND is a Panama-flagged bulk carrier with a gross tonnage of 44,407 and a deadweight of 81,688 tonnes. The ship is managed under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code by First Steamship SA (FSSA). Port State Control detentions are issued when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the environment, or when non-compliance with international conventions is found. Under Tokyo MOU procedures, a detained vessel must rectify all outstanding deficiencies and undergo a follow-up inspection before it is permitted to resume operations and depart port. No further details have been released regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies identified or the expected timeline for the vessel's release. The detention adds to the compliance record tracked under the Tokyo MOU, which monitors ship safety and environmental standards across the Asia-Pacific region.
