OMARI (IMO 9242546) detained at Rizhao, October 2026

The 25-year-old Palau-flagged bulk carrier OMARI has been detained at Rizhao, China, marking its fourth detention in less than two years and its second in Chinese waters in 2026 alone. The vessel's inspection record deteriorated sharply after a late-2019 ownership change pulled it out of a reputable Hong Kong manager's hands and into a succession of Vietnamese operators, and the current detention confirms a trajectory that any charterer vetting the ship should have seen coming.
