Bulk Carrier Corona Royal Detained in Prince Rupert

The bulk carrier CORONA ROYAL (IMO 9667356) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU regime at the port of Prince Rupert on 19 Jan 2026. The inspection identified a total of four deficiencies, two of which were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending corrective action. The Panama-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 49,762 and is managed by ISM company Keiyo Kisen KK. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, security and environmental conventions. Detentions are issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the ship, its crew, or the marine environment, and the vessel is not permitted to sail until the issues are rectified and verified by inspectors. Further details regarding the specific nature of the deficiencies and the timeline for the vessel's release have not been disclosed. The case adds to the record of detentions logged under the Paris MoU for the period, which monitors compliance among vessels operating in European and North Atlantic waters.
