Oil Tanker CSK Jubilee Detained in Sydney

The oil tanker CSK JUBILEE was detained in Sydney, NSW, following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Tokyo MOU on 05 Nov 2026. Inspectors recorded five deficiencies on board, two of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The Singapore-flagged tanker, with a gross tonnage of 62,773 and a deadweight of 113,888, is identified by IMO number 1030703. The ship is managed under the ISM Code by Tai Chong Cheang Steamship Co (HK) Ltd. Port State Control authorities have not disclosed further detail on the specific nature of the deficiencies identified during the inspection. Detentions under the Tokyo MOU framework are issued when inspectors determine that conditions on board pose a risk to the safety of the ship, crew, or the marine environment, or where deficiencies are serious enough to warrant rectification before the vessel is permitted to continue its voyage. The vessel will remain detained in Sydney until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of port state control officers and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. No information has been provided regarding the vessel's next port of call or the expected duration of the detention.
