The 16-year-old general cargo vessel was detained at Xiamen on 2 October 2026, its fifth detention in just over three years under the same ownership group. The vessel has traded under four names, cycled through at least five flag states, and carries classification from Panama Maritime Documentation Services, a non-IACS society, placing it firmly in the highest risk bracket for charterers and underwriters.
